Transportation

OVERVIEW

Home Mayor's Initiatives Transportation Overview

The safe and convenient movement of people and goods - getting into, around, and through the city as efficiently as possible - is about more than time spent in traffic. It's about our quality-of-life.

Calgarians said they wanted our transportation system to be brought up to what our growing city needs. In fact, transportation was the number one issue of concern to Calgarians for several years running.

Council responded. We committed to the huge investment necessary to virtually double the capacity of the Ctrain system, expand major roadways, and put more buses on more routes more often. And to build the interchanges, bridges and pedways to link it all together.
