The Transit Code supports safe, respectful rides this fall
August 17, 2026 - 12:27pm
Saskatoon Transit is preparing for the busy fall season and the new Saskatoon Transit Bylaw that is in effect September 1. Riders will begin seeing The Transit Code advertising campaign across the transit system and throughout the community. The campaign supports the new Saskatoon Transit Bylaw and helps customers understand expected behaviour on transit in simple, easy-to-understand language.
The Transit Code focuses on the actions that help create a safe, welcoming and respectful transit experience, including respecting others, paying your fare, offering priority seating when needed, keeping aisles clear and helping keep transit spaces clean.
"Most riders already get on board with The Transit Code every day," said Mike Moellenbeck, Director of Saskatoon Transit. "This campaign is about reinforcing the positive behaviours we see across the system and helping customers understand how we can all contribute to a better transit experience."
The new Saskatoon Transit Bylaw establishes clear and consistent expectations related to fare payment, customer conduct, transit property and enforcement. The Transit Code serves as the public-facing guide to those expectations while the bylaw provides the framework that supports them.
Over the coming weeks, customers will see Transit Code messages on buses, at terminals and shelters, online, on social media, through radio advertising and in community outreach activities.
With thousands of students returning to school and ridership increasing during the fall season, Saskatoon Transit and Saskatoon Police Service will also be conducting education and fare validation activities throughout the system. Riders can expect to see a more visible police presence at terminals, on buses and at other high-ridership locations. The focus is on education, awareness and compliance, helping customers understand expectations while supporting a safe and welcoming transit environment.
Customers can learn more about The Transit Code and the Saskatoon Transit Bylaw at SaskatoonTransit.ca/code.
