NORTH GRENVILLE, ON - The Municipality of North Grenville is proud to announce a major expansion of NGtransit, its award-winning public transit system, launching September 15, 2025.
The expanded service will significantly improve local and regional transit access for residents, and now includes two transit vehicles, thanks to funding received through the Ontario Transit Investment Fund (OTIF).
Beginning Monday, September 8, 2025, NGtransit users can start booking rides for the new service, which officially begins on September 15.
Key Features of the Expansion:
- Regional Connectivity: NGtransit will now connect directly with OC Transpo’s Limebank LRT Station, offering access to Ottawa’s broader transit network.
- Commuter Trips: two morning and two evening trips to and from Ottawa will operate on weekdays, serving daily commuters and reducing car dependency.
- Increased Local On-Demand Service: During the day, NGtransit will operate with two vehicles within North Grenville.
This announcement follows national recognition from the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC), which awarded North Grenville the 2025 Small Municipalities Achievement Award for the success and innovation of NGtransit.
“We are thrilled to see NGtransit continue to grow and gain national recognition,” said Mayor Nancy Peckford. “The addition of a second vehicle and our new commuter route to Ottawa are major milestones. They demonstrate how meaningful investments in rural transit can notably improve quality of life for residents in need”.
“As the technology partner behind NGtransit, Blaise is proud to see the connection with OC Transpo come to life less than two years after the service launched,” said Sophie LeBlanc, Head of Business Development at Blaise Transit. “As a native of Oxford Mills, I know how transformative access to public transit can be. This expansion is a testament to what’s possible when municipalities and technology work together to improve residents’ daily lives.”
“I have been a customer of NGtransit almost since its inception and can’t overstate how much this service means to residents of North Grenville like myself. The operators are always attentive, skilled, and genuinely care about their passengers; from helping people with mobility aids to making sure everyone feels safe. Despite living in a more remote area, NGtransit has allowed me to complete errands and stay connected when it otherwise wouldn’t have been possible. I’m deeply grateful to every staff member who makes this service happen,” said a longtime NGtransit rider.
