On Thursday, July 23, Niagara Regional Council passed a temporary face covering by-law (By-law 2020-46) to require residents to wear mandatory face coverings in enclosed public places, and on Regional and Municipal transit beginning Friday, July 31st. This by-law is to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in indoor public spaces as more businesses and services begin to reopen. Exemptions and other details are posted at niagararegion.ca/covid19.
Service Update - Effective December 6, 2021
Transit Services will be temporarily suspending all 30-minute peak service on City routes until further notice. Peak service is provided on routes 101/102/103/105/106/107/and 108. Transit will be delivered hourly on affected routes. Our busier routes 104/110/111 with 30 minute all-day service will remain on their regular schedule during this time.
Approximately 74% of all systems in Ontario are projecting potential service reductions now or early in 2022 at current staffing and provincial funding levels according to the Ontario Public Transit Association. We regret any inconvenience this causes for our riders at this time.
Service Enhancements - Effective September 6, 2021
Niagara Falls Transit is improving service by making a number of adjustments and increases to routes and timing. Select transit routes and stops will be expanded and others will be adjusted to make better use of resources in response to growing customer demand and new development in the City.
Some of the featured changes include:
- Accommodation of new residential growth areas in the community. This includes addressing growth in the City’s south end, and migrating service toward the future site of the new hospital.
- Impacted neighbourhoods include Warren Woods / Garner / Oldfield / Thundering Waters
- Improvement of routing to facilitate:
- ease of use for passengers
- consistent timing for routes
- alignment of departure times day and night, and Sundays and Holidays from Major hubs
- Addition of service to Heartland Forest / WEGO Facility / Blackburn Parkway in both directions.
- Access to Stanley South Business Park for those without transportation for employment activities.
- Completion of the Morrison/Dorchester Lay-by this September with AODA compliant stops and shelters.(Stay tuned for platform locations)
Affected routes and stops include: #103 / #105 / #106 / #113 / #203 / #205 / #206 / #213 (Maps can be found by going to Routes and Schedules and click on the appropriate Route)
