    Transit and Transportation Updates following the announcement of Ace Cabs closure

    Date:

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [15 August 2024] – The Town of Collingwood is aware of how
    important it is for residents, workers, and visitors to get around the community.


    Following the announcement by Ace Cabs today of their pending closure effective
    September 30, the Town would like to recognize the ongoing partnership with Ace Cabs
    for accessible transit and thank them for serving the community for the past 80 years.


    The Town would like to assure the community that public transportation is readily
    available to service your transportation needs through Colltrans providing three transit
    routes in Town (East, West, and Crosstown), the Blue Mountain Link Bus (BLINK) and
    Simcoe County LINX Transit. To learn more about public transit options visit:
    https://www.collingwood.ca/public-transit


    The Town will follow up on ACE Transportation’s commitment to offer our residents the
    Accessible Taxi shuttle for the rest of their contract, expiring March 31, 2025. The Town
    currently offers accessible transit through our TransitPLUS service available for booked
    rides seven days a week. The Town will look at options related to meeting the needs for
    accessible community transportation in Collingwood over the coming months.


    In the 2024 Municipal Budget, Council approved a new position, Community
    Transportation Coordinator to provide leadership for Collingwood’s public transportation
    system, including accessible transit and the continuation of the on-demand transit
    program.


    The Town has recently hired Sandy Falcon, who joins the Collingwood team from the
    Canadian Red Cross, North Simcoe Muskoka, where she was involved with many
    community initiatives, including providing the oversight and management of the Red
    Cross’s accessible transit program, fleet, and members. Sandy is excited to step into
    the newly Council-approved role where she can make a difference within the community
    improving transportation needs and community engagement.
