Open Houses on Rural Transportation Services

Ottawa ­ Residents are invited to attend a series of open houses to discuss public transportation needs and options for Ottawa's rural areas.

Prior to amalgamation, Ottawa area rural municipalities provided different types and levels of public transportation. The Transit Services Branch of the City of Ottawa needs public input to build a successful rural transportation plan. These open house sessions were organized to offer residents an opportunity to identify public transportation needs, obtain information on various options that may be available, and provide comments on how rural transportation services should be funded.
