The Municipality of North Grenville is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to conduct a transit study. Proposals should provide innovative solutions to meet the needs of the community.
In 2019, North Grenville Accessible Transportation (NGAT) requested the Municipality of North Grenville assume responsibility of their accessible transportation service. NGAT was a volunteer organization that ran a successful transportation service for over 20 years in North Grenville.
In January 2020, the Municipality entered into a one-year agreement (with option to extend) with a service provider to offer accessible transportation services in North Grenville.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all non-critical transports were suspended, and only essential transports were offered from March to September 2020. Non-critical transports were resumed in October 2020, with COVID-19 health and safety precautions in place, and continued per the contract until the end of December 2021.
Following a request for proposals process, the same provider was awarded the 2022 contract and a refreshed transit program was established.
Current service details:
• Accessible, on-demand service
• Eligible riders include anyone who meets the definition of having a disability per the Accessibility for Ontarian with Disabilities Act (AODA) or is a senior 65+
• Seven days a week (except holidays) from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
• One-way fare is $5, and monthly passes are available for $70
