COVID-19 Service Update


Starting on Monday, June 14, Calgary Transit Access (CTA) will begin gradually increasing passenger limits on all vehicles.  You may or may not notice more customers sharing your trip, depending on trip demands.  This will be a gradual process where we increase capacity based on the current COVID-19 situation; we will adjust as needed to ensure we are following safety guidelines – this means we could increase passenger capacity or decrease it if necessary.  We continue to recommend wearing your face covering if you do not have a medical condition preventing you from wearing one.  You can learn more about The City’s face covering bylaw below.

Vaccination numbers are continuing to go up which is encouraging but CTA will continue to ask health screening questions when customers call the Booking Centre to request a trip; we continue to ask if you feel unwell, that you please stay home.  

COVID-19 

The City of Calgary has extended the temporary face covering bylaw to December 2021.  Council will review the bylaw at that time to determine whether it needs further extension.  We are asking all customers to continue wearing their face covering when taking a trip with us.  You may have taken a trip with a customer who is not wearing a face covering; there are exceptions to the bylaw and we ask for your continued compassion and patience.  You can find more information about the bylaw by clicking here.  If you’d like to learn more about wearing a mask, please visit our safety page.   Below is a list of exceptions to the mask bylaw. Exceptions to the Face Coverings Bylaw include:
 

  • Children under two years of age
  • People with underlying medical conditions or disabilities inhibiting their ability to wear a face covering
  • People who are unable to place, use or remove a face covering safely without assistance
  • People who are eating or drinking at a public premises that offers food or beverage services
  • People engaging in an athletic or fitness activity
  • People who are caregiving for or accompanying a person with a disability where wearing a face covering would hinder the accommodation of the person’s disability (for example, the ability to lip read)
  • People who have temporarily removed their face covering where doing so is necessary to provide or receive a service (for example, a visit to the dentist)


Calgary Transit Access (CTA) is committed to maintaining our current service promise to our customers.  

CTA is doing its part by ensuring we provide clean, well- sanitized vehicles and enforcing good hygiene practices amongst all our employees and partner agencies.  

As part of our efforts to keep customers and employees safe, even as vaccinations begin, we are going to continue with our health screening questions when you call to request a trip.  

However, in order to maintain this service, we are asking our customers to answer the following questions before booking a trip:

Q1.         Are you experiencing flu-related symptoms such as a fever, cough, runny nose or difficulty breathing that are not related to a preexisting health condition or illness (such as seasonal allergies)?

Yes / No

Q2.         Have you travelled outside Canada in the last 14 days?

Yes / No

Q3.         Have you contacted Health Link 811 to arrange formal testing or been medically directed to self-isolate or quarantine yourself?

Yes / No

Q4.         Have you been confirmed positive for COVID-19?

Yes / No

Q5.          Have you had close contact with someone who has been tested or has been confirmed positive for COVID-19?

Yes / No

If you have answered “YES” to any of these questions, CTA recommends that you stay home or consider another mode of transportation.    We are asking our customers who have travelled recently to stop using our service for a minimum of 14 days from the date they returned home. 

If you have answered “NO” to questions 1-5, you can continue booking your trip. 

We understand this is a challenging time and we appreciate your help as the COVID-19 situation develops. 

We are asking all of our customers to cover their cough, wash their hands frequently and to stay home if they feel sick.  You can learn more by visiting the Calgary Emergency Management Agency’s (CEMA) page about COVID-19 or going onlineacces to the World Health Organization (WHO) for tips on how to manage during this event.
