#1 Issue

After our 2015 Niagara Economic Summit, we polled attendees to identify the top issues to emerge from that event – and integrated public transit with a single farebox was the most important issue by far.

Now at Council 

Since January 2016, the Inter-Municipal Transit Working Group of Mayors, CAOs and transit managers from St. Catharines, Welland and Niagara Falls, with support from the Regional Chair and CAO, has been working together to develop options for integrated transit services for Niagara. That question is now before municipal councils in Welland, St. Catharines, and Niagara Falls.

Moving people around more efficiently means:

• A larger labour pool and employees who can get to work more easily
• More students can find jobs and internships in their fields, helping better train the workforce of tomorrow
• Employers find motivated and interested employees for their industry
• Help alleviate poverty, which currently costs Niagara over $1.38 billion every year in lost economic opportunities, taxes, and charity.
• Success of the GO train. When it comes to Niagara, will depend in large part upon the efficiency of the feeder services that bring people to and from the GO stations.
