Grand River Transit's business plan will provide a roadmap to guide transit service investments from 2025 to 2030 and beyond. The GRT Business Plan builds on transit priorities identified through the Region’s Strategic Plan and Budget consultations. It will focus on how to make transit easier to use, where and when GRT can serve you better, and how and where GRT should prioritize frequency and speed.

There are three different pieces to the GRT Business Plan that we will ask for your input on throughout 2024:

Conventional Bus and Train Business Plan

MobilityPLUS and Kiwanis Transit Business Plan

Township Transit Strategy

  • Develop and evaluate ideas to expand transit services in the townships over the next five years, providing residents with better access to essential services and employment opportunities.

Join us for a series of virtual sessions on the Township Transit Strategy. Content for the sessions will be focused on individual Townships and plans.

  • Wilmot: July 9 (link coming soon)
  • Wellesley: July 10 (link coming soon)
  • North Dumfries: July 16 (link coming soon)
  • Woolwich: July 17 (link coming soon)

Business plan launch event

Join us on June 27 at 7 p.m. for a virtual townhall to launch of the GRT business plan. We'll introduce all three plans, and you'll have an opportunity to share your ideas and vision for the future of our transit services.

  • Share As residents of Vista Hills with teenage children using Bus 31 daily, we have requested for the bus route to be extended further into the area. Presently it’s a 23-25 minute walk from Wild Rye St to get to the bus stop which is not practical on hot summer days or in winter when sidewalks are not cleared in the mornings. We have raised the request 3 times since Sept 2022 but nothing has been done to extend bus 31 beyond the last stop at Sundew. Please look into this and incorporate into the new plan. on Facebook Share As residents of Vista Hills with teenage children using Bus 31 daily, we have requested for the bus route to be extended further into the area.
