About the Project

Edmonton is growing, and our transit use is too. Between 2022 and 2023, Edmonton transit ridership increased by 27 per cent. 

Introducing Transit Priority Measures in 2025 and 2026 is the most cost-effective way to improve our ability to quickly and efficiently get more Edmontonians where they want to go.

Transit priority measures (TPM) are changes made to a roadway that give an advantage to transit.  These can be simple changes, such as 

  • Adding a signal phase
  • Turning exceptions at select intersections
  • Dedicated bus lanes 
  • Transit signal priority (TSP) 

These techniques can improve service and reduce delays for transit vehicles at intersections controlled by signals.
