Passenger Ropeways Requirements and Permits

AEDARSA, as the Delegated Administrative Organization, is authorized to issue Permits of Operation for Passenger Ropeways in Alberta. The following are created in the AEDARSA oNe-X Portal for the Owner/Operator of Passenger Ropeways to complete and submit.

  • Passenger Ropeways (September 15th Permit Expires October 31st)

Applications for Permit of Operation Parts I and II will be reviewed by appropriate personnel for accurate completion and fees before being accepted. Once an application is accepted, a Permit of Operation per owner/operator listing the S# and lift will be issued and mailed.

All fees will be in accordance with the current Ministerial Order. All fees must be received before a Permit of Operation is issued. AEDARSA abides by the frequency of inspections provided by Alberta Municipal Affairs and to ensure passenger ropeways are maintained and operated safely. Inspections are required within 30 days of the opening date per the Permit season.

NOTE: Passenger ropeways are permitted to operate for the permit season only by the approval of an AEDARSA Safety Codes Officer. Upon receiving and reviewing a completed checklist for a lift, the Safety Codes Officer may allow the lift to operate. When possible, inspections will be completed prior to public operation

Please contact our nearest office if there are any questions regarding this information.
