NEW: To help support the community with self-isolation during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, Okotoks Transit will be assisting local grocery stores with deliveries of groceries within the transit service area.
Okotoks Transit has reached out to local stores; currently Sobeys & Save on Foods are set up to take advantage of the delivery service. If other local stores are interested in participating, please submit an inquiry by clicking here.
This temporary service will be co-ordinated between the grocery store and Okotoks Transit; the transit charge is not charged to the customer’s grocery order. Grocery delivery will operate in a separate vehicle from passenger transit.
For information on ordering the delivery service, please contact the respective stores:
Sobeys: General Inquiries – 403-938-3439; Deliveries – 403-938-4043; SobeysOkotoks.com
Save on Foods: 587-757-8966
Passenger transit is the primary purpose of Okotoks Transit and grocery delivery will be provided without compromising passenger needs. Should there be an increased demand for passenger transit over the coming weeks, this will take priority over grocery deliveries.
The Town has also negotiated a discounted rate of $10 per trip with Town Taxi, which provides the Town’s Community Access Program, for collecting and delivering groceries. The taxi service applies within both developed and annexed boundaries of Okotoks to assist with self-isolation. Arrangements and payment for this delivery service must be made directly with Town Taxi (403-975-2233) and the respective store that individuals are ordering the groceries from. Other local taxi services may also be willing to assist with grocery deliveries; please contact them directly.
NOTICE: The Town would like to inform residents that Okotoks Transit is operating as usual: Monday-Saturday, 6:00am-11:30pm. While the risk of contracting Coronavirus (COVID-19) remains low, to lessen potential risk of spread, Okotoks Transit is reducing trip windows to decrease shared ridership. The intention is to have one or two bookings on each vehicle at any given time to lessen contact and maintain Alberta Health Services’ recommendation of proper social distancing (2 meters separation). With that in mind, we ask users to please sit at the back of the transit vehicle. Additionally, to further mitigate risk, enhanced cleaning practices have been implemented. Okotoks Transit will continue to monitor daily demand and will adjust vehicle supply as necessary to ensure that there is sufficient transit service.
