Roam Transit, Parks Canada
funding agreement to
purchase electric buses
▶ A five-year agreement between Bow
Valley Regional Transit Services Commission
(BVRTSC), which operates Roam
Transit, and Parks Canada will allow the
transit provider to purchase electric
buses in a move the commission and
federal government believe will reduce
personal car use in Banff National Park.
BVRTSC added its first Proterra electric
buses to its fleet last summer to serve
downtown Banff, the Banff Gondola, the
Banff Springs Hotel and Tunnel Mountain
campgrounds. The three buses
were partially funded through the Green
Transit Initiatives Program through the
government of Alberta. The C$12.9
million (US$10.26 million) agreement
between BVRTSC and Parks Canada will
help purchase three additional Proterra
electric buses, which will be deployed in
the summer of 2023.
