"I am pleased that we have offered this program in Prince Albert for more than thirty years," said Mayor Greg Dionne. "Thank-you to SGI for their ongoing support to make it possible."
Prince Albert Chief of Police Jonathan Bergen commends the efforts by SGI and the City of Prince Albert to encourage safe rides home for residents. "This partnership provides a safe, free and easily accessible option for anyone travelling on New Year's Eve. We want everyone to arrive home safely, so if your celebrations include alcohol, please consider this Program."
This year there are 5 routes that will service the City and all routes will meet at the downtown Central Transit Transfer Station.
The City would also like to encourage New Year's riders to check out www.transitlivepa.com. This new tool allows users to track buses in real-time online so they can better plan their departure times and limit time spent in the cold at the bus stop.
The "Wing in the New Year" Program started in Prince Albert in 1989 and has provided thousands of safe and free rides home.
