Please sign this petition asking the city to allow a pilot projet that would allow leashed dogs on Edmonton's LRT.

Aside from service dogs, only those small enough to travel in a carrier are currently allowed on the LRT. However, leashed dogs are welcome on public transportation in several major cities, including London, Paris and San Francisco, as well as Canadian cities such as Calgary (ref A), Toronto (ref B) and Montréal (ref C). 

Edmonton could develop its own policy adapted from similar initiatives around the country. For example, in Toronto and Montreal leashed dogs are only allowed on public transit during off-peak hours with reduced traffic. Also, leashed dogs are required to wear muzzles in Montreal. 

Allowing leashed dogs on Edmonton's LRT would encourage eco-friendly travel, facilitate increased access to veterinary care as well as dog-friendly spots around Edmonton, in downtown for exemple: River valley, Alex Decoteau Park, Winterval, Fawkes Coffee and Pet value. 

I truly believe that Edmonton can develop a policy that would give dogs access to public transit and ensure the peace of all users. 

Thank you for your support!
