Transit for disabled may expand to north Wellington

Just as those in Elora and Salem are gaining access to vital transportation services, discussions are taking place about another group possibly offering similar services to the disabled in the norther portion of Wellington County.

Saugeen Mobility and Regional Transit (SMART) wants to expand to Mapleton, Minto and Wellington North, and councillors in all three municipalities have offered in-principle support of the idea.

Financial details still need to be finalized, but Jerome Quenneville, Chief Executive Officer of North Wellington Health Care, said the proposal “appear[s] to be the answer to many of our current accessibility challenges.”

A pilot project in Wellington North may be the first step.
