The City of Saskatoon has set ambitious climate goals, as outlined in its Climate Action Plan. The city is committed to reducing emissions by 80% below the 2014 baseline by 2050, covering both the community and its own operations. To achieve this, they have established an interim target of 15% reduction for the community and 40% reduction for the city by 2023.

Recognizing the significant role transit plays in the city’s overall greenhouse gas emissions, Saskatoon Transit has set a goal of electrifying its entire fleet by 2030. CUTRIC was contracted to conduct a low carbon transit transition plan for the agency.

CUTRIC is privileged to collaborate with Saskatoon Transit in supporting the city’s transition to a zero-emission solution for its transit fleet. This partnership will not only contribute to reducing emissions but also help Saskatoon Transit develop a robust, resilient, and integrated transportation system for the entire community.

The $420 000 project will deliver a preparation of a comprehensive, full fleet, and low carbon fleet  ransition plan in five (5) phases. These phases focus on the economic, technological, and environmental, benefits, risks, and constraints associated with the transition to a low carbon fleet of vehicles. The project is funded through the Zero Emission Transit Fund.
