​Calgary Transit follows approved policies and design principles which influence the planning and delivery of transit service. Calgary Transit's goal is for Calgarians to have access to transit service within a five-minute walk (i.e. 400 meters) from most developed areas. Transit route networks allow for good transit access to local community services (schools, shopping centres) and external destinations (Downtown). The routes are planned as part of the planning and development process and are located on collector and arterial streets whenever possible. Changes occur to improve efficiency, directness, or as part of CTrain network expansion. Ongoing community cost? No

​Calgary Transit identifies bus stops in new community plans before they are built. Locations are carefully chosen based on factors like customer, pedestrian and vehicle safety and the ease of access to nearby residences and businesses. Bus stops are permanent neighbourhood fixtures and a typical stop serves hundreds of nearby residents, visitors and employees. Stopping or parking in bus a zone is prohibited and parked vehicles may be ticketed or towed and impounded (Bylaw 26M96). Ongoing community cost? No

​Cycling and walking routes can be found using calgary.ca's interactive pathways and bikeways map and through iPhone or Android app. There are also maps to help you walk or cycle to your favourite Calgary attractions. Ongoing community cost? No
