Welcome to the rebirth of the On the Move, a twice-a-month newsletter sharing transit news and views from Guelph and beyond presented by the Transit Action Alliance of Guelph. It arrives directly in your inbox on the 1st and 15th of each month.

On-demand transit is coming to Guelph this May replacing three underserviced bus routes. The City wants your input on where the stops should be located. The Transit Action Alliance of Guelph (TAAG) is hosting a webinar about on-demand transit with Belleville’s Manager of Transit Operations Paul Buck on Tuesday February 16 at 7 pm.

Bus Detour alert from October 2 to June 2021 for the Route 13 Victoria Road Recreation Centre and Community Bus North.

On Monday’s Family Day, the Conventional Bus service is running on a staggered 60-minute service from 9:15 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. (schedules here) while the Mobility service is running from 9:15 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. The Transit Office and Dispatch are also closed.

Thank you for wearing a mask or face covering on the bus. Guelph Transit is still operating on a Saturday service schedule. Schedules can be found here.

Puslinch councillors express concerns about Guelph transportation plan but not so much the Hamilton to Guelph bus.

Two-way, all-day GO trains in Guelph are one step closer. An RFP is out to do a Transportation Study about the various crossing along the train line.

The Federal Government has promised billions in new funds to build, expand public-transit systems. Not everybody is happy though with the delay in operational funding.

Remember Guelph Transit is going electric:

#Guelph is going electric! The purchase of 35 battery electric buses – with 30 more on the way – will help @cityofguelph transition to a low-carbon fleet and a cleaner, greener transit system for the community! #BuildUp

Getting the COVID-19 vaccine shouldn’t require a car.

Have your say on the new On-Demand Bus service starting in Guelph May 2nd.

Is Covid-19 a Threat to Public Transit? Only in the US.

Why create ‘Low-Car’ Cities?

The immense challenges faced by cities won't be solved by smarter cars or cleaner cars. They'll be solved by FEWER cars. That means implementing a transport hierarchy that incentivizes walking, cycling and transit; and disincentivizes driving. Here's how:
