What is TransLoc and how can I get it?

TransLoc is Cold Lake Transit’s smartphone app. It shows the stops that are closest to you, scheduled and estimated arrival times, and real-time GPS tracking that displays the current location of each bus on a map. The TransLoc app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store, Google Play store, or from the www.transloc.com/app. When searching for the app, look for this icon: Transloc icon

Do I need the transLoc app to ride?

The TransLoc app is not required to ride on Cold Lake Transit; however, it is highly recommended that all regular customers download and become familiar with it. Since the new accelerated weekday schedule is faster and drivers will no longer stop at bus stops unless there are people waiting to board or disembark, the bus may be running slightly ahead of schedule. The scheduled times can be used as estimates, but customers are encouraged to use the real-time tracking feature to watch their bus and determine the best time to head to their stop.
