Subsidized Transportation

Changes to Subsidized Transportation Programs

Council approved changes to two subsidized transportation programs on September 28, 2026. As a result of these changes:

  • The Community Access Program (CAP) will conclude at the end of 2026. Current CAP cardholders can use Okotoks Transit until the end of the year, free of charge. Its fixed-route and on-demand services are available to all residents and are not affected by this review.  
  • The Volunteer Driver Program will transition to Community Access Rides to Essential Healthcare (CARE), a program focused on helping eligible residents reach essential medical appointments outside Okotoks.

The Town of Okotoks offers two subsidized transportation services to eligible residents, including the Community Access Program (subsidized taxi service) and the Volunteer Driver Program.

Community Access Program

The Community Access Program provides subsidized transportation for Okotoks residents 60+ and those with disabilities so all residents can remain active participants of the community. Program cardholders receive a reduced taxi fare through an agreement made between the Town of Okotoks and Town Taxi.

Volunteer Driver Program

The Volunteer Driver Program is a supportive program for adults (18+) living in Okotoks who require assistance with transportation to medical appointments outside the local area. Volunteer Drivers provide safe, free and reliable transportation for residents who would otherwise struggle to meet this need.
