Canmore needs to determine guidelines for the threshold population and conditions to implement a public transitservice. The study will enable Canmore to assess its transit needs and identify the threshold. The study will review of thegoals of the Canmore Transportation Master Plan, research recent transit experience in other small Canadiancommunities, and develop a specific transit design and implementation manual, including a service plan with cost andrevenue estimates and marketing guidelines.
