Car Heaven

Calgary Transit is pleased to be a participant in the Car Heaven Alberta program. Car Heaven is a provincial program that seeks to get vehicles older than 1995 off Alberta and Calgary streets and roads.

It has been shown that these older vehicles produce emissions far out of proportion to their numbers. In fact, ten percent of the vehicles on the road produce fifty percent of the emissions.

As a participant, Calgary Transit is offering qualified applicants the option of choosing to receive six monthly transit passes over a one year period. Those applicants selecting this option will be required to sign for and pick up their pass at the Calgary Transit Customer Service Centre located at 224 7 avenue S.W. each month.

Other incentives such as subsidizing the purchase of a new bicycle are also available from the Car Heaven program. In order to qualify for these incentives, the participant's vehicle must be surrendered for scrapping.
