Transforming Transit for Niagara’s Future
Niagara Transit is on the move — and you can help shape where we go next.
Niagara Transit is launching a 10-Year Investment and Growth Strategy designed to create a modern, efficient, and equitable public transportation system that serves more people, more often, more effectively. This is a pivotal moment for Niagara, and we want your input.
Why Strong Transit Matters
Public transportation isn’t just about getting from point A to point B. A strong transit network is a powerful tool for building a stronger, more connected Niagara. Here’s why it matters:
- Transit is a social program
Transit helps reduce isolation, connects people to education and healthcare, and provides access to events and public spaces. - Transit is a cost-of-living advantage
A robust system supports those who can’t afford a car and helps households save for other essentials, like rent or homeownership. - Transit is an economic development driver
Reliable transportation helps businesses attract talent, connects workers to jobs, and brings customers to local shops. - Transit is a sustainability and environmental program
Choosing transit reduces greenhouse gas emissions, eases congestion on our roads, and supports a greener, cleaner Niagara. - Transit is a connective tissue for our communities
A seamless regional system strengthens independence and supports a better quality of life for everyone.
The Vision: A Transit System for Tomorrow
The 10-Year Plan focuses on building a network that works for Niagara, everywhere, any time by:
- Expanding local and regional routes to reach more communities
- Providing more frequent service, especially in high-demand areas
- Offering faster, more direct trips for riders
By investing in these changes, Niagara Transit aims to create a system that keeps pace with the needs of residents, workers, and visitors — now and into the future.
