Feds Fund Rural Transit Study in Southwest Avalon

Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada

The communities of St. Mary's Bay are developing options to improve transit in their region after an investment of $50,000 from the federal government.

This funding will support a feasibility study to map the demand for an intercommunity public transit system around St. Mary's Bay. The study will guide planning for a transit system to serve seniors, residents with disabilities and those without access to transportation in at least twelve communities in the region.

The communities included in the study are Mount Carmel-Mitchells Brook-St. Catherine's, Forest Field-New Bridge, Admirals Beach, Colinet, Gaskiers-Point La Haye, Harricott, O'Donnell's, North Harbour, Riverhead, St. Joseph's, St. Mary's, and St. Vincent's-St. Stephen's-Peter's River.
