COVID-19 Transit service
Updated – December 9, 2020
Transit encourages riders to only travel for necessary trip purposes. Necessary trips generally include, work, school, medical appointments and shopping. That said, what an individual deems necessary is a personal decision.
A mask must be worn on Transit and in its facilities.
The current provincial restrictions replace Strathcona County’s temporary face covering bylaw until further notice.
Everyone ages two and over is required to wear a mask in all indoor public settings, except where exemptions apply. Visit the provincial webpage for full details and exemption information.
Non-medical masks are available to the public during regular customer service hours at the Bethel Transit Terminal, located at 650 Bethel Drive, as part of the Masks for Albertans program.
COVID testing
The AHS testing site is located in the north-west corner of the Bethel Transit Terminal parking lot off of Broadview Road.
Please do not ride transit to get to your appointment. If you require transportation, contact 811 and they will assist you. Further, if you are going for testing on the Bethel site, please refrain from entering the transit terminal building.
