Connecting Pelham: Bus routes to the Meridian Community Centre

A connected community relies on accessible and affordable transit. The next logical step for Pelham is linking our on-demand services with fixed regional transit at the Meridian Community Centre (MCC).

Connecting on-demand service to fixed regional routes

While Niagara Transit on-demand offers flexibility across Pelham, connecting directly to fixed routes at the Meridian Community Centre creates a true transit hub. This link allows residents to transition seamlessly from local neighbourhood rides to wider regional destinations, ensuring everyone can move around with ease and reliability.

Extending routes 502 and 504 to the MCC

Wayne Olson advocates for extending Niagara Transit Welland routes 502 and 504 directly to the MCC. This practical extension expands direct access to post-secondary education, local job opportunities, and essential healthcare facilities in the region, all while operating efficiently within our existing cost framework.

A clear commitment to public consultation and action

Transit must focus on safety, accessibility, and affordability. If elected, Wayne's immediate first action will be requesting an official staff report detailing the route extension process, costs, and advantages. Following the report, a public consultation meeting will take place to share plans and hear directly from Pelham residents.
