On Target

Conventional Transit Ridership

This measure tracks overall ridership by capturing the total number of individual trips taken on conventional transit each year in Regina. It shows how often residents use transit and provides insight into travel patterns, service demand and community reliance on public transportation. Ridership trends help assess how well the system is serving the community and inform decisions about routes, service levels, resource allocation and long-term transit planning. 

Transit ridership continues to increase steadily, exceeding target ridership levels. This growth reflects more customers choosing to ride the bus, as well as additional service increases that have created more opportunities for riders to make additional trips. 

On Target

Conventional Transit Route Coverage

This measure tracks the percentage of all urban residences, workplaces, secondary and postsecondary schools, shopping centres and public facilities that are within 400 metres walking distance of a bus stop. It reflects how accessible transit service is across the city and provides insight into how well the network supports convenient, walkable connections for residents, students, workers and visitors. 

Transit route coverage remains strong, holding steady at 95 per cent for the past three years. This stability demonstrates consistent access to transit across the city. As Regina continues to grow, route adjustments will be required to maintain strong coverage and ensure new neighbourhoods receive convenient access to the transit network. 

In Jeopardy

Transit Shelter Overall Percentage

This measure tracks the percentage of bus stops that have a shelter, with a target of 25 per cent. It reflects the availability of weather-protected waiting areas for transit users and supports accessibility, comfort and overall positive user experience across the transit network. Tracking the percentage of stops with shelters helps identify gaps in transit amenities, guides investment decisions and ensures that improvements are directed where they can have the greatest impact on customer experience. 

New shelters are installed each year, supporting ongoing improvements to the transit network. In recent years, the focus has shifted toward replacing and upgrading shelters that have reached end of life. 

Budget has also been requested to increase the number of new shelter installations in future years. 

In Jeopardy

Transit Heated Shelters

This measure tracks the percentage of transit shelters that are heated. Only shelters with more than 100 boardings per day are included, reflecting the focus on high-use locations where heated shelters provide the greatest benefit. This measure highlights accessibility, comfort and customer experience for transit riders during colder months and supports decisions about shelter investments and upgrades. 

New heated shelters are installed each year, supporting ongoing enhancements to rider comfort during colder months. In 2025, the number of shelters meeting the requirement to be heated increased due to rising ridership at several locations. As a result, the overall percentage of heated shelters decreased, not because fewer shelters were heated, but because more stops qualified for inclusion based on higher boarding volumes. This shift highlights both increasing transit use and the need for continued investment in heated shelters at high-demand stops. 

Vulnerable

Conventional Transit Schedule Adherence

This measure tracks the percentage of time the bus is on time compared to published schedules. A bus is considered not on time if it leaves early or arrives more than four minutes late. This measure reflects the reliability of the transit system and helps assess how consistently service meets customer expectations and scheduled performance standards. 

Weekday and Saturday schedule adherence has decreased year-over-year. This decline is partly due to budget requests not being approved to support improvements in on time performance. Increased ridership and higher commuter traffic across the transportation network are also contributing to delays, making it more difficult for buses to maintain scheduled travel times. In response, Transit will look for internal efficiencies and operational adjustments to help address schedule reliability and improve on time performance moving forward. 

Vulnerable

Paratransit Ridership

This measure tracks overall ridership by capturing the total number of individual trips taken on Paratransit each year in Regina. It reflects how often residents rely on accessible transit services and provides insight into travel patterns, service demand and community reliance on specialized transportation for individuals with mobility or accessibility needs. 

Paratransit ridership has remained level, as it is difficult to accommodate additional trips within the current service hours and scheduling capacity. To support future growth, new scheduling software has been purchased to improve efficiency and optimize trip planning. Once fully implemented in Q2 2026, the software is projected to enable approximately 5,000 additional trips per year, expanding service capacity and improving the overall customer experience.

In Jeopardy

Paratransit Trip Denial Rate

This measure tracks the percentage of Paratransit trips that could not be accommodated. The target is to deny less than one per cent of trips. This measure reflects the system’s ability to meet demand within existing service hours and scheduling capacity and provides insight into where additional resources, efficiencies or service improvements may be needed to support riders with accessibility needs. 

Trip denial rates have been increasing as demand for Paratransit service continues to grow. To help accommodate more trips, new scheduling software has been purchased to improve efficiency and optimize trip planning. Once implemented in Q2 2026, the software is projected to add approximately 5,000 additional trips to the system, helping reduce denial rates and improve overall service availability for riders with accessibility needs.
