North Grenville, ON – North Grenville’s on-demand transit service, NGtransit, is proud to celebrate its six-month milestone. Since its inception, NGtransit has successfully facilitated nearly 4,200 rides, maintaining an impressive average passenger rating of 4.5 out of 5. The service has predominantly catered to adults, who comprise 82% of the ridership, while youth account for 16%. In alignment with Council’s objectives, the Municipality is undertaking a comprehensive mid-year assessment of the NGtransit program to guide future planning and enhancements.

“We are committed to making NGtransit the best it can be, given its mandate, our resource constraints and the large geographic area it serves.  Fundamentally, NGtransit’s mission is to be a reliable and efficient service for those who require it,” said Mayor Nancy Peckford. “By listening to our riders and those who have yet to try NGtransit, we hope to gather the information needed to enhance and expand our services.”

Your input is crucial in helping us improve NGtransit. Whether you are a current user or have yet to experience the service, we encourage you to participate in the survey and share your thoughts.

Together, we can continue to build a better transit service for North Grenville.
