KAWARTHA LAKES-Lindsay Transit has rolled out some improvements as a result of a grant from the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund from the federal government.
The new project involves the installation of 10 new cement pads at Lindsay Transit stops to improve accessibility.
“The pads provide a stable surface that makes waiting at transit stops and getting on the bus safer and easier for residents,” explained Todd Bryant, Manager of Fleet and Transit. “Municipalities have until 2025 to make transit services completely accessible. Lindsay Transit is now 99% accessible and we are committed to becoming 100% accessible far ahead of schedule.”
The City says future Lindsay Transit services will be outlined in a Master Transit Plan due to be completed early in 2018. A report about the Master Transit Plan will be presented to Council in February 2018. The plan involved public consultation over the summer and fall through surveys and public meetings which received a large amount of participation. Information from the public consultation process will be used to determine the next steps for Lindsay Transit.
