Back to School: Free Transit on Sept 2, 2025

Prince Albert, SK — On the first day of school, Tuesday, September 2, 2025, all City transit will be free for everyone. The promotion gives students of all ages the chance to try City Transit at no cost while starting the school year.

Monthly bus passes are available for high school students at Carlton, St. Mary, Wesmor, and Prince Albert Collegiate Institute. New Semester Bus Passes are also available for all post-secondary students at City Hall. Students attending Saskatchewan Polytechnic can also purchase their semester bus pass on site at their school’s technical building.

“The free transit day helps students get to school, purchase their passes, and get familiar with their routes,” says Charlene Tebbutt, Community Mobility Coordinator for the City of Prince Albert. “We also encourage students and parents to subscribe to Transit News for updates on schedules and service changes.”

School Zone Safety

As students return to class, drivers are reminded:

• Obey the 30 km/h school zone speed limit.
• Avoid U-turns in school zones.
• Watch for pedestrians and stop at marked crosswalks.
• Do not stop in no-parking or no-stopping zones, which are in place to maintain safe sightlines.
