The County of Brant Council has approved a new public transportation service for the County of Brant which will soon be implemented.
After a full review, the recommendation came forward to enter into contract with BTS Network to provide the County with the new Brant e-Ride public transportation program. Brant e-Ride will continue to be accessible and citizens will be able to be book a ride online, through an app or on the phone.
This new partnership will begin in the fall. More information about the Brant e-Ride will be released in the coming weeks as the County prepares to launch the service.
The County currently provides subsidized and accessible transportation. The current program will continue to be delivered until the new program is in place. We will be working with current users of the program to transition to Brant e-Ride.
