Perth County has launched a survey regarding the PC Connect transit service.
The county is looking for feedback from residents, riders, businesses, and community stakeholders regarding the service, as the full provincial funding for PC Connect’s Rural Route is scheduled to end on March 31, 2025.
County Council will then determine the future viability of the service beyond this date.
The purpose of the survey is to understand how the service has impacted the surrounding area so council can make a more informed decision.
The survey is available online with hard copies available on the PC Connect Rural Route buses and at local municipal offices.
Survey responses are being collected until October 30.
Visit www.perthcounty.ca/RuralRouteSurvey to take the survey online.
PC Connect also operates as three intercommunity routes which offer urban connections include service between Listowel – Kitchener/Waterloo (Route 1), St. Marys –Stratford – Kitchener/Waterloo (Route 2) and Stratford – St. Marys – Stratford (Route 3). These inter-community routes (urban connections) are not being considered for the purposes of this survey.
"Council is committed to listening to the community to understand the impact of the PC Connect Rural Route," said Warden Rhonda Ehgoetz, Chair of the Community Transportation Steering Committee. “We appreciate the community’s input to aid Council in this decision.”
