City Transit Service

City Transit bus service is provided by the Red Deer City Transit department and travel along overload city transit routes.

Grace Period:

The City of Red Deer provides a two day “grace period” for the start of the school year. Students who have not yet purchased their Transit passes will be able to ride the city’s Transit buses to and from school without a pass on the first two days of school. Transit passes must then be in a student’s possession.

Transit Application Form:

All students wishing to access Transit services must complete a Transit Bus Application form and pay a $30.00 fee.  This fee discounted to $20.00 if paid by the end of June and $15.00 after January 31.
