Making transit resources go further

Efficiency is about getting the most value from the resources we have, while continuing to improve service for customers.

This report highlights efforts ranging from improving workforce planning and maintaining vehicles and infrastructure to using technology and data more effectively, improving bus service planning, and finding new sources of non-fare revenue.

The report looks at five areas:

  • Service

    Planning and delivering service to customers in ways that make the best use of available vehicles, operators, and service hours.

  • Workforce

    Improving workforce planning, training, scheduling, and safety to support reliable service and manage labour costs.

  • Assets

    Getting more value and longer life from vehicles, facilities, infrastructure, and other transit assets.

  • Digital

    Using technology, data, and automation to improve operations, information, and decision-making.

  • Governance and oversight

    Improving coordination, accountability, and decision-making across the transit system.

Looking ahead

Improvements will continue. Calgary Transit will track results, identify new opportunities, and assess where changes can deliver the greatest value for customers and Calgarians.

This work supports RouteAhead, Calgary Transit’s 30-year strategic plan, by helping transit resources and investments go further as Calgary continues to grow.
