At their meeting last night, council voted in favour of combining all of Niagara’s existing services into one single, integrated transit commission serving all of Niagara.
“As a council we unanimously supported transit consolidation for the Niagara Region”, said Mayor Bill Steele. “An integrated transit commission bodes well for Niagara by supporting our tourism industry and allowing people to travel freely across the Region. I would like to thank those municipalities who have already shown their support and we ask the other municipalities to follow suit with their support. I have always said as Mayor, whatever is good for Port Colborne is good for Niagara, and whatever is good for Niagara is good for Port Colborne.”
Port Colborne joins four other municipalities voting in favour of the proposed consolidated transit plan.
On Nov. 25, Regional Council voted in favour of the plan. All of Niagara’s 12 local municipalities will be voting on the proposal from December to January.
To move forward with the proposed plan, a majority of Niagara’s municipal councils, representing a majority of Niagara's electors, must vote in favour of the plan.
