Council will add three On-Demand vehicles
Fort Erie Town Council has agreed to spend up to $425,000 to expand its On-Demand Transit operations.
The money will be used to purchase three additional On-Demand vehicles.
In a release, the town says it has seen ridership increase to record levels since its launch on October 4, 2021.
On-Demand Transit is a shared-ride service that responds to ride requests rather than a fixed route.
Travel is optimized by computer software, and is based upon rider trip requests.
On-Demand Transit operates within the entire Town allowing riders to travel from point to point without transfers.
The service transports approximately 14% of the Town's population, compared to traditional transit, which carries about 11%.
