Middlesex County to evaluate viability of inter-community transit services, funding to end in August

(Source: Middlesex County)

Middlesex County is conducting a survey of residents to get feedback on public transit in the community.

The feedback will be used to improve the Middlesex County Connect, and Strathroy-Caradoc Inter-Community Transit routes, and assess their viability in the face of a looming end to federal funding.

The current services have been made possible through funding from the Government of Ontario’s Community Transportation Grant Program - supporting these services until August 2025.

All residents are welcome to submit their feedback, whether they use public transit or not.

Middlesex County Connect routes include:

• Route 1: Lucan, Ilderton, Arva, and London (weekdays only)
• Route 2: Woodstock, Ingersoll, Putnam, Dorchester, and London (weekdays only)
• Route 3: Dorchester, London, St. Thomas, and Southwold (Monday to Saturday)

Strathroy-Caradoc Inter-Community Transit connects:

• Sarnia, Strathroy, Mt. Brydges, Komoka, and London (Monday to Sunday)

The feedback will be integrated with professional recommendations to evaluate routes, and recommend solutions to best support local and regional growth, while also deciding the future of inter-community transit services, and their viability upon completion of the funding.

The survey can be found on the Middlesex County website.
