The City is testing the new Arc tap to pay system, which will give transit riders the option to conveniently pay for transit using most types of contactless payment, like physical and digital credit/debit cards. We need 30 to 35 transit riders to help ensure Arc tap to pay is ready for all riders.
To volunteer to participate in testing, please complete the recruitment survey. The survey closes July 13, and takes 5 to 7 minutes to complete.
Not everyone who completes the survey will participate in testing. Participants will be selected to ensure a diverse testing pool, including riders who are eligible for all fare caps and use different payment methods.
Your role as a testing participant is to use contactless payment methods to pay for transit and provide feedback on how the technology and fare calculation are performing and ease of use. Testing will begin on August 1 and last about 6 weeks.
Through participant feedback and testing, we can identify areas for improvement before the broader public is invited to tap to pay.

Our LRT mechanics play a vital role in keeping our light rail vehicles safe and reliable by conducting inspections, performing preventative maintenance and carrying out repairs.
We are 100% self-sufficient, so all maintenance and repairs for Capital and Metro Line trains are done in-house. This work reduces train downtime for repairs, and saves taxpayers millions of dollars. Check out a CTV story that gives a behind-the-scenes look at how Edmonton keeps its LRT cars on track.
This position is perfect for individuals who are Red Seal mechanics and able to work nights and weekends, with the ability to transition to day shifts in the future. Currently, the 10-hour shifts being offered to new employees are:
We offer competitive pay and excellent benefits, including a pension plan, health benefits and three weeks of paid vacation. Paid training is provided to help new staff become a certified LRT mechanic.
If you are a proactive problem-solver with a passion for mechanics and a commitment to maintaining high standards, apply now! You’ll join a team that values safety, efficiency, and provides excellent service to Edmontonians.
