Everybody Rides program

Strathcona County believes that everyone should have access to transportation. In partnership with Family and Community Services, a program has been implemented to assist qualified residents in reducing the cost of accessing Strathcona County Transit.

The Everybody Rides program improves access to transit services for residents who have limited income. Approved applicants receive a reduced monthly fare cap on their Arc card profile. The Arc card must be linked to a registered account and is only valid for the registered user.  Reduced monthly caps are available for both commuter and local service. Where you travel and the service used determines the fare deducted from the Arc account.
