Oakville Transit wants guidance from public to plan for next five years

Oakville Transit is seeking feedback from the community to help enhance its service delivery.

Members of the public are invited to share their experiences to help shape Oakville Transit’s Five-year Business Plan, which will guide and prepare Oakville Transit for community growth by providing a roadmap for where and how transit services are delivered over the next five years.

The plan will explore new service strategies, capitalize on planned investments in rapid transit services and better connect customers travelling within town, to surrounding municipalities, and the broader Greater Toronto Area.

“Efforts to create a plan to enhance Oakville Transit services over the next five years reflects the town’s commitment to ensuring local public transit is accessible, sustainable and responsive to the needs of our growing community,” said Mayor Rob Burton.

“I encourage everyone to take this opportunity to share their experiences with transit, as valuable input from the public will help us plan for future improvements.”
