CENTRE WELLINGTON – The Elora and Fergus Downtown Shuttle Program is back for 2025, now offering a Friday service along with the regular Saturday, Sunday, and statutory holiday service as in previous years.
Helping to alleviate parking constraints in the downtown areas of Elora and Fergus, the shuttle will allow visitors and residents to park outside of these locations and be transported – free of charge – to key areas of the township.
This year’s shuttle bus will run May 16 to Sept. 14.
Similar to previous years, a tourism ambassador will be on board every single ride to provide support to visitors and residents while promoting festivals, events and local businesses.
“We hope to create another memorable summer for those who use the shuttle with the goal in mind of improving local mobility, enhancing tourism, promoting sustainability, supporting local businesses, and fostering a sense of community,” states a township press release.
The shuttle bus will operate from 11am to 5pm, leaving the Grand River Raceway (7445 Wellington Road 21 in Elora) every hour on the hour, beginning at 11am, and the last trip will take place at 5pm.
Every hour, the shuttle will leave the raceway and transport passengers to the following locations:
- MacDonald Square;
- Elora Centre for the Arts/Bissell Park;
- Wellington County Museum and Archives;
- Fergus Marketplace; and
- Fergus sportsplex.
Officials say the Downtown Shuttle Program is a collaborative effort and would not be possible without generous sponsors, including:
- Wrighthaven Homes;
- Wellington County;
- Elora BIA;
- Fergus BIA;
- Grand River Agricultural Society; and
- the Centre Wellington Chamber of Commerce.
