Temporary Bus Stop Change - June 23
The Canadian Cycling Championship is hosting a Time Trial event out of the Ken Nichol Regional Recreation Centre on Thursday, June 23. This will result in a temporary bus stop location change for that day.
- The KNRRC bus stop will be relocated to the southside of 55th Ave (just east of the 50th Street intersection). There is a mailbox that will be used as the bus stop marker.
- There will still be public parking at the KNRRC in the north parking lot by the playground. Access to the parking lot will be limited to the north/55 Avenue entrances.
- The west entrance to the KNRRC from 50th Street will be closed to all public traffic on June 23.
Full details on this event including road closures can be viewed on our Operational Maintenance & Road Closure page.

Throughout the next year, we will be keeping you up-to-date with the many changes and updates happening with Beaumont Transit. Some of these include route updates, transit centre changes, new services and everything in-between.
- Beaumont Commuter Bus Services resumed as of Monday, August 23rd. Personal face masks are required whenever riding public transit along with social distancing whenever possible

- *NOTE* This is a temporary change until we are permitted to access the Mill Woods Transit Centre (TBD)

COVID-19 Service Update (September 20, 2021)
In light of the latest updates from the Province of Alberta, Beaumont is now implementing that personal face masks are required whenever riding public transit along with social distancing whenever possible.
COVID-19 Service Update (July 26, 2021)
Currently we are working towards relaunching Beaumont Transit Services in August. Full details and information will be made available in the near future as we work towards getting everything updated and in-place. Full announcements will be made available on all our social channels + web pages.
COVID-19 Service Update (May 25, 2021)
Until further notice, Beaumont Transit services are still on hold due to COVID-19. This is due to a low ridership, along with a decision by Council to temporarily suspend services last year (see June 9, 2020 update). There will be a new direction requested by Administration towards Council on when transit service can be started up again during a council meeting scheduled for Summer, 2021.
COVID-19 Service Update (June 9, 2020)
Due to low ridership, Beaumont city council made the difficult decision to suspend Beaumont Transit service temporarily effective Monday, May 4. The city will continue to monitor factors, including provincial health restrictions, and consider restarting service with Stage 3 of the Alberta government’s re-launch strategy.
We know there are residents who depend on daily transit service and are exploring options for them while service is suspended. If you are currently using Beaumont Transit, please contact us at by email at BT@beaumont.ab.ca or phone at 780-929-4306.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to protect the health and safety of the community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
