Bus Electrification
2050. What are the expected fuel savings for these electric buses? At current fuel prices, Regina
Transit anticipates fuel savings of over $32,000 annually for each
electric bus. What are the expected electricity costs for charging electric buses? Regina Transit
estimates that each electric bus will cost approximately $9,500 annually in electricity for charging. When will the infrastructure and buses be
in place? The first buses will be operational in early 2025, with initial charging
infrastructure in place by this time. The remaining charging infrastructure will be installed and
operational for the second order of buses. The following is a breakdown of EV bus purchases: 2024 –
Order 7 electric buses, receive in Q2 2025 2024 – Order 13 electric buses, receive in Q2 2026 When
will the public see electric buses in the city? The first electric buses will be delivered in early
2025. At the same time, work to install the facility charging stations will be completed. The City
anticipates the electric buses will be operational shortly after delivery. Are these buses
replacing buses we already have? These buses will replace buses that have come to the end of their
useful life. Typically, buses are replaced after 17 years of service. Are EV buses expected to have
the same lifespan (17 years) as diesel engine buses? Yes, the City anticipates electric buses to
have a similar lifespan to diesel buses, around 17 years. What routes will these buses be on when
they arrive? The buses will be used on a variety of routes throughout the city. Will bus fares go
up to pay for the new buses? How are they being paid for? No, bus fares won’t need to increase to
pay for the electric buses. The City of Regina has been approved to receive $26 million in funding
through the federal government’s Permanent Public Transit Program – Zero Emissions Transit Fund.
This funding will cover 50 per cent of the purchase cost of 20 electric buses along with the first
phase of transit fleet facility upgrades to accommodate electric vehicle charging. Regina City
Council is considering changes to the Transit Fare Bylaw which are aimed at keeping fares
affordable, consistent and fair. Transit capping, in particular, will benefit transit riders.

Sponsorship
hip pieces that align best within those needs and budgets What is the minimum length of
sponsorship? Most advertising/sponsorship agreements are an annual
partnership agreement, however, some packages may be created for event specific means under a
limited timeline. Multiyear sponsorships are also available. How are rates determined? The
valuation process took steps using industry accepted standards and values to initially place real
market value on each asset. Then those same assets and their value were benchmarked and compared to
similar assets at other properties across the region and nation to ensure they are accurate from a
comparable measurement standard. Will local businesses be given any preference? In the event of a
competitive situation between two or more companies with rights fees being equal, the City will
defer to the company which aligns best to the values and priorities of the City. Where can I find a
list of what’s available? Sponsorships are created through consultation and discussions with our
Sponsorship team. For information of areas of potential partnerships, contact the Sponsor program
at sponsor@regina.ca Can a community organization be a sponsor? Yes. The city of Regina will work
with community organizations to determine suitable and availability of sponsorship opportunities
for them. Use our online request form: Information Request Form Email For more information, send us
