.@TriTAG was featured in the news today on how to speed up Waterloo's ION LRT! Check it out in the thread and links below (1/8)
Ion trains are slower than buses. How can we speed them up? Rail transit in Kitchener and Waterloo carries one-third fewer passengers than projected upon launch in 2019. therecord.com/news/waterloo-…
(3/3) Sign up to delegate Wednesday, December 3rd at 6pm here: forms.regionofwaterloo.ca/Council-and-Ad… The survey is currently unavailable. We have contacted GRT. Find your council member's contact info here: regionofwaterloo.ca/en/regional-co…
(2/3) Proposed GRT service cuts include: 📉REDUCED frequency on Routes 13 Laurelwood & 19 Hazel from every 15 mins to every 30 mins 📉REDUCED frequency on 30 Ring Road & 9 Lakeshore from every 20 mins to every 30 mins ❌Route 110 will be discontinued grt.ca/en/about-grt/2…
Popular Waterloo student bus routes 9, 13, 19, & 30 are proposed to have cuts next budget year! Speak Up, Fill Out the Survey, and Contact Your Councillors! (1/3) linktr.ee/no_grt_cuts
Regional committee voted 15 to 1 in favour of a full light rail extension of ION to downtown Cambridge! To be fully ratified on November 19, but this is huge and a united front will help make the case for funding. We live posted the meeting here: bsky.app/profile/tritag…
LINK IN BIO: Together with @TriTAG , @TAAGuelph , and @CStudentsInc, we inquired about candidates' inter-city transit platforms in Waterloo Region, Guelph, and Brantford. To see the candidates’ answers, view the questionnaire via our bio.
We asked Waterloo Region candidates a more specific set of questions around Stage 2 ION LRT funding, bike lanes, 2-way all-day GO, and municipal transit operations funding We asked all candidates that cover Brantford, Waterloo-Region, and Guelph questions about intercity transit
Today is the last day for early voting for the Ontario election! Before you go, check out how your Waterloo Region, Brantford—Brant, & Guelph candidates responded to our transportation questionnaire in partnership with @moretransitso & @TAAGuelph. (1/2) tritag.ca/ontario-electi…
Downtown parking, GRT turns 25, and growing up not out — this and more in our news roundup for the last two weeks: tritag.ca/blog/2025/01/1…
Our news roundup for the last month: GRT cuts averted, Guelph-Cambridge trains, construction costs, and more: tritag.ca/blog/2024/12/3…
Fun Fact: Ever heard of the proposed GO Transit Kitchener-London Line? This line was proposed by the Government of Ontario in 2014 as a way to enhance transit connectivity between these cities after the Toronto-London High Speed Rail Line opened. This line was never built.
Going to celebrate New Years in #Toronto? GO Transit is FREE from 7 p.m. until 8 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2025. There will be a 1:34 a.m. train departing Union Station making all stops before ending at Kitchener GO arriving at 3:28 a.m. Details: gotransit.com/en/service-upd… #Guelph @TriTAG
For the full information, check out: metrolinx.com/en/discover/ki…
2024 Kitchener-Waterloo @Metrolinx highlights include: - A completed "key package of work" on the Kitchener GO Line between Georgetown & Kitchener in May - A new 2.6km passing track in Breslau & advanced signal system were put into place on the Kitchener Line
Monthly passes will increase to $104 even though GRT recommended to $100. Summer service reductions will start one week early. (4/4) Our blogpost on the budget: tritag.ca/blog/2024/12/1… Official GRT Budget Update: grt.ca/budget2025
GRT received around half of what they asked for in core network improvements, nothing for operational adjustments for reliability, full support for improved MobilityPLUS, and more transit service support staff but less than asked for. (2/4)
🥳🥳 It's official! 🎉 🎉 All GRT route cuts have been defeated and we get to keep our bus stop garbage bins! Thank everyone who spoke up! To see more information about the votes on service expansion, cuts, and fare increases, check out our thread below! (1/4)
Update: yesterday the Region of Waterloo finalized the budget without any more changes to the transit items. That is: most cuts averted, monthly fares still increasing, garbage cans will still be emptied, and there's even some expansions.
The Region of Waterloo budget is not final yet, but Councillors fortunately did not have much appetite for cutting any Grand River Transit service. Many more details here: tritag.ca/blog/2024/12/1…
