Innisfail getting big revamp to local transit system
The Town of Innisfail is set to upgrade its PACE transit to an on-demand system.
Starting April 3, the Town begins a one-year contract with Pacific Western Transportation to provide the community and those surrounding it with a state-of-the-art and on-demand transit system.
The new service is available to residents of Innisfail, Penhold, and Bowden, providing almost 12,000 users with access. One-way rides within Innisfail will cost $5. There will be a $15 charge for rides to Bowden and Penhold, and $50 for trips to Red Deer, Olds and Sylvan Lake. Citizens needing transportation to Calgary or Edmonton will also be able to use the service.
Since 2018, the Town partnered with the local Royal Canadian Legion to offer the PACE shuttle, but the Legion has since determined it could no longer provide that service.
