Niagara Transit Commission
Biography
On May 27, 2022, the formation of the Niagara Transit Commission marked the realization of a shared vision among Niagara Region and its 12 local municipalities: the creation of an integrated transit system to unify Niagara. This ambitious initiative aims to enhance access to employment and services throughout the region, providing fresh transportation alternatives for neighboring municipalities and fresh market opportunities for businesses.
The transformation involved the establishment of a consolidated transit system, known as Niagara Transit. This merged the existing transit systems of Niagara Region Transit, Niagara Falls Transit, St. Catharines Transit, Welland Transit, and Fort Erie Transit into a single, comprehensive transit operator.
