The Town of Orangeville recognizes many residents rely on Transit to get around.
Orangeville Transit is taking steps to make rider information more readily available.
Here are the new processes Orangeville Transit has implemented to help:
Site overhaul of Transit Website
Town Staff have worked to update the layout of the Orangeville Transit page, making it easier to navigate.
This includes prioritizing messaging for Mobility and Rider Services and putting a Service Disruption section on the page.
Mobility and Rider Services information is now broken down in an easy to consume format, and includes information on the Town’s accessible buses, alternatives, and plans for situations where an accessible bus may not be available on a specific route.
Service Disruption and Accessibility Notifications
When a service disruption occurs or one of the Town buses are not available on the route, this information will be posted to the orangeville.ca/Transit page, as well as the Schedules and Maps and Mobility and Rider Services pages.
Additionally, a banner will appear on the Town’s website identifying the service disruption and will reroute to a page with more information.
Orangeville Transit is currently investigating additional methods to help provide notifications, including ways to include notices at major stops and the transfer hub.
Looking ahead, Staff have already begun work on more ways to improve services.
In 2025, the Town will receive two new fully accessible, AODA compliant buses.
It has also secured access to a school bus with wheelchair accessibility, providing a 32-passenger capacity and two wheelchair spots.
In the coming months, routes will also be optimized to help riders get around more efficiently.
