Transit studies, surveys, and reports

From September 2020 until December 2020, Loyalist Township invited residents and stakeholders to complete a Public Transit Survey to identify the transportation needs within Loyalist Township and to gather community input to inform future decisions.

At the May 25, 2021, Regular Council Meeting, Council received an Improving Public Transportation - Progress Report and directed staff to release the results of the public transportation survey by posting a copy of the results on the Township website. A statistical analysis of the survey results is available.

Council authorized staff to continue consultation with key stakeholders (Kingston Transit, The Town of Greater Napanee, Lennox and Addington County) on public transportation and engage residents to obtain their feedback on an expanded public transportation system that would service all residents of Loyalist Township.

A progress report was presented to Council at their regular session on Tuesday, October 12, 2021.
