- Route 727, a new route, will run from Chappelle to Heritage Valley Transit Centre during peak hours;
- Route 900X will permanently detour to 107 Avenue between West Edmonton Mall Transit Centre and downtown to avoid LRT construction
- Route 901 will run at increased frequency during midday, weekday mornings and Sunday evenings;
- Seniors On Demand Transit is being extended on weekdays, running from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Construction is also causing some routes and bus stops to temporarily change, including:

- Routes 106 and 150X will be detouring due to the 132 Avenue Renewal project;

From July 21 - 30, the Capital Line LRT and bus routes 8 and 53 will run extra service to Coliseum Transit Centre for K-Days.
On Aug. 5, 6 and 7, the Capital Line LRT and bus routes 8, 53 and 700X will run extra service for the Heritage Festival. On Heritage Day, Aug. 7, buses will run regular Sunday service.
