To help reduce transportation barriers to voting polls for the provincial and civic elections, Saskatoon Transit will provide a special pass for free transit service on October 28 and November 13, 2024. This free service enables every resident the opportunity to reach their polling station conveniently and affordably.

Find the free pass at SaskatoonTransit.ca or pick one up at the Transit Customer Service Centre, City Hall, Civic Leisure Centres or a Saskatoon Public Library. A printed pass is not required; electronic versions on mobile phones will be accepted. Simply show a printed, downloaded, picture, or screenshot version of the pass to the operator upon boarding.   

The pass is only for use on each election day – October 28 (provincial election) and November 13 (civic election). The pass can be used multiple times on fixed-route, OnDemand and Access Transit and will expire at the end of service each day on October 28 and November 13, 2024

Trips can be planned using the mobile app Transit or Google Maps Transit up to two weeks in advance to help find the best route to a polling station.
