Free Zone. A forty-five (45) kilometer radius free zone around the City Halls of Edmonton, Calgary and any place in which Employees are temporarily domiciled by the Employer shall be established. No transportation or travel allowance shall be applicable within the free zone. The time in transit on buses between the site and the camp shall be determined by representatives of the Building Trades of Alberta and of the Coordinating Committee of Registered Employers’ Organizations, based on an average during a reference week of five (5) test runs each way, conducted coincidently with the times when workers are in transit. This determination should be carried out twice per year, with any adjustment resulting for a determination applicable until the next determination. Workers shall be paid an allowance for time regularly and routinely in excess of forty five minutes each way, for travel within the applicable free zone. The allowance shall be calculated on the regular straight time base rate of each worker. The allowance will be paid to workers who ride on the provided buses, and only for the days on which they ride the buses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on major construction projects located within the free zone, around the Cities of Edmonton and Calgary, but beyond the city bus transportation system of those cities, where it is expected that the total construction workforce will exceed 500, the affected parties shall meet to discuss the viability of implementing a system of providing transportation to the site.
