GO Transit into Northumberland County?

Northumberland County is working on a high level business case, which could help with transportation into the Greater Toronto Area.

The county is looking to get Go Transit to come within its borders.

The business case, which will be presented to Metrolinx, is expected to highlight the need, interest, and opportunity in Northumberland.

County Warden Bob Sanderson says during consultations on the Transportation Master Plan, it was indicated the public wants this service.

Sanderson adds that working with Metrolinx and looking at Go services is an important part of the process.

BELOW IS STATEMENT FROM THE COUNTY OF NORTHUMBERLAND

Northumberland County is seeking public input to help inform a high-level business case for GO Transit expansion to the community, which will be presented to Metrolinx.

The business case will highlight the local need, interest and opportunity for increased transit options within Northumberland County and connecting to neighbouring regional transit systems.

“We heard loud and clear during public consultations for the Transportation Master Plan that improved transit, including options that better connect our community to neighbouring regions, is a high priority for our residents and businesses,” states County Warden Bob Sanderson.

“Working with Metrolinx to explore opportunities for expansion of GO services to our community is an important part of this process.

We invite all community members to share their thoughts in this survey.”
