The City of Camrose's Rural Transportation two-year pilot project, “Camrose Area Rideshare,” (funded by the Government of Alberta) launched on November 6, 2019. Previously known as “Camrose Carpool,” Camrose Area Rideshare was a web-based carpooling program with a phone-in option that was designed to provide local and rural residents access to public transportation while also providing information to help address gaps in the transit system.
However, due to underutilization and COVID-19, the decision was made to suspend the program indefinitely.
