Monday, November 4 will be the first day of operation for a rural transit pilot program in Loyalist Township.
Loyalist Link, through Stock Transportation, will provide transit options for those in Bath, Odessa, as well as those looking to use the Amherst Island ferry in Millhaven. The route will ultimately link the township to Kingston, and will include stops for the Loyalist East Business Park, and Taylor-Kidd Industrial Park.
The program will run for nearly 13 months, ending on Dec 31, 2025. Over this time, township staff will be evaluating the use and efficiency of the routes, and may look to expand or re-assess options at that time.
The program is being funded in part through a $192,000 community transportation grant from the province’s community connection funding.
