Governance Model
With 12 municipalities, all with their own unique transit situations, we want to make sure that the new system meets the needs of residents in smaller municipalities, as well as the larger ones. The proposed model is built upon a 15-member Transit Commission Board with representation from all Niagara municipalities.
Service Standards Strategy
Significant work has been done in the past few years to make the existing transit systems in Niagara work better together to benefit riders. A fully consolidated transit model is an opportunity to take these efforts even further – combining resources to deliver more and better service, providing easier connections between towns and cities, and effectively integrating with expanded GO Train service.
Finanical Model
Transit in Niagara today is funded by a combination of both Regional and local levies. Niagara’s new Transit Commission Board would be funded from Niagara Region’s budget only, through 12 Regional special levies and not through the Region’s general levy. Tax bills will show a Regional levy tax rate and a Regional Transit tax rate. The core principle of the financial strategy is that residents and transit users only pay for the services that they directly receive.
