Description (French)
Ce projet vise à étudier la faisabilité de la mise en place et de l'exploitation d'un service de transport en commun pour les navetteurs qui se rendent au travail mais qui résident dans la région rurale de Kingston et dans les municipalités voisines. Ce projet évaluera la faisabilité de diverses approches pour un modèle de transport en commun rural, en consultation avec le public, les principaux intervenants commerciaux et d'autres partenaires communautaires. Ces approches potentielles comprennent l'exploitation d'un service d'autobus à itinéraire fixe, la création de parcs de stationnement pour navetteurs ruraux et des options de covoiturage.
