We need your input! Help Shape the Future of the County's Transportation Services
As the Taxi Bylaw is under review, the County of Brant wants to hear from residents how we can modernize transportation services.
Currently, the County of Brant has two licensed taxi providers, Grand River Cab and Paris Taxi.
We want to know your thoughts on regulating and licensing additional transportation services such as limousines and a transportation network company, the most well-known ones include Uber and Lyft.
The more we understand your transportation needs, the better we can respond. What time of day or night do you need transportation services? How would you prefer to book your rides? Should we license additional transportation services in the County? How important is accessibility and affordability?
The review of the current Taxi Bylaw does not include Brant e-Ride, the County’s new public transportation service.
