City to provide free transit for registered GPAT riders

The City of Grande Prairie is recognizing registered Grande Prairie Accessible Transit riders in December through a number of initiatives.

The City is granting free transit during regular hours for registered GPAT riders on Friday December 1st to recognize International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton says free service for GPAT customers is an important aspect of encouraging inclusivity in the city.

“Initiatives that provide free services for GPAT customers contribute to an enhanced quality of life for residents by ensuring reliable transportation, fostering social connection, and encouraging community wellbeing.”

Additionally, city transit is offering GPAT clients free round-trip rides to the Northern Spirit Lights Show, including driving through the light displays at the event every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night at 6:00 p.m. from December 1st to the 17th.

Interested GPAT customers are encouraged to sign up with their driver or by calling dispatch at 780-830-7433.
