Advocating for the use and advancement of an interconnected transit system in Windsor-Essex 🇨🇦🚌
We are extremely disappointed to see Essex County Council decide to not pursue financially supporting the LTW 42 transit route. This is a short-sighted decision that will set back a push for a more robust regional transit system to connect all of Essex County. Full press release: shorturl.at/kVUgb
