Wednesday, June 3 is Clean Air Day across Canada, and the City of Prince Albert is raising awareness by offering free transit all day.

Heavy snowfall over the past 24 hours has significantly affected travel inside and outside city limits. Crews are nearly finished clearing priority emergency routes and continue to make steady progress to clear bus routes. The duration and volume of snowfall have resulted in delays to transit, garbage, and recycling services.

As of this afternoon, snow-clearing operations are moving into school zones as crews continue to make strong progress following the recent snowfall that brought approximately 35 cm (14 inches) of snow.

The City is advancing parking solutions in Prince Albert of introducing online payment options and a new mobile parking app in 2026. Residents and visitors will soon be able of pay for hourly, weekly, or monthly parking online at meters and lots across Prince Albert, as an alternative to coins, meter cards, and hard-copy parking permits.

Free transit will be available once again on New Year’s Eve as we celebrate the start of a new year in our community.

Colder weather and snowfall have impacted transit operations in Prince Albert, resulting in some routes being taken offline or temporarily moved to hourly service. Prince Albert Transit is actively working to ensure continued coverage of all routes and share timely updates with the public.

Safety improvements were recently completed at the intersection of 22nd Street and 1st Avenue West to reduce the frequency and severity of collisions. This project was fully funded with the generous support of SGI. 

The City of Prince Albert is thrilled to announce the launch of a Call for Indigenous Arts for Transit Shelter Art Designs, inviting Indigenous visual artists to submit original artwork that celebrates the spirit of our community.

On the first day of school, Tuesday, September 2, 2025, all City transit will be free for everyone.
