transportation
Kimberley is well served by its transportation connections, with
easy air or road access to western Canada and the U.S. Pacific
Northwest.
Air
The Canadian Rockies International Airport is a 15-minute drive
from Kimberley. It provides direct flights to Vancouver and Calgary and
has undergone a runway extension and expansion of the terminal area to
accommodate larger aircraft from more distant North American and
European locations.
The Airport is a key strategic advantage for Kimberley and enhances
its viability as a location for businesses that require occasional
travel to major North American markets. In addition, there are three
other sizable airports (Calgary, Spokane and Kalispell) within a few
hours drive of Kimberley that provide further access to locations
throughout North America and Europe.
Ground
Kimberley is located on Highway 95A. It is slightly removed from
Highway 3, one of the main east-west routes running west to Vancouver
and east to Alberta through the Crowsnest. Highway 95A runs north as
the combined Highway 93/95 to meet the Trans-Canada Highway at Golden.
Kimberley is located in close proximity to two U.S. border crossings –
at Kingsgate via Highway 95 and Roosville via Highway 93.
Public Transit
Kimberley is served by Kimberley Public Transit, which provides
service throughout the city as well as scheduled round trips to
Cranbrook on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On the Cranbrook shuttle, seats
must be booked ahead and customers with medical appointments have
priority over customers traveling for shopping. Door-to-door service is
available for the mobility-impaired. For more transit info, call
427-7400 or see http://www.busonline.ca/regions/kim/?p=2.list
