New
routing technology and local road routing are being implemented in the
Alberta TRAVIS permit issuing system. Which means you will no longer
have to call the counties that are participating in this new routing
system for their permits, it will all be done on one call. It
will state on the first page of your AB permit whether you are approved
or still need to contact any counties. Be prepared with a physical
address or legal land location # for your origin and destination and a
full route including highways and any local roads (these will consist of township and range roads, streets and avenues).
Please note that any current municipal fees for approvals and
inspections will remain in place. Counties on board with this
system to date are
County of Grande Prairie, City of Grande Prairie, County of Saddle
Hills, the M.D. of Spirit River, City of Spruce Grove, Parkland County,
Lacombe County, Vermilion River County, County of Woodlands, Town of
Castor, Town of Falher, Town of Legal, Town of Beaverlodge, Town of
Wembley, Town of Bashaw, Town of Spirit River, Town of Calmar, Town of
St. Paul, County of Forty Mile, Village of Marwayne, Town of Coronation,
Town of Crossfield, Village of Rosalind, M.D. of Willowcreek and the
Town of Canmore.
Permit applications will be sent to them electronically by TRAVIS for
approval instead of having to contact the county directly.
