Milton Transit is expecting some changes in the new year.
Following the approval of the 2025 Town Budget by Milton’s Council, Milton Transit is going to put their five-year service plan into action in 2025.
The Milton Transit Five-Year Service Plan and Master Plan Update sets out a strategic vision and re-designed transit network to guide transit planning and operations to 2029 and beyond.
Key initiatives that residents will begin to see in 2025 include:
- The Town of Milton matching Halton Region’s contribution in the Subsidized Passes for Low Income Transit (SPLIT) program. This will provide a 100% subsidy on transit tickets and passes for eligible low-income Milton residents, ensuring that local transit is more accessible and affordable for those in need.
- Expanded service hours Monday to Friday until 10:30 p.m., starting in September.
- The Introduction of a new Sunday service that will run from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., starting in September
- The purchase of seven new buses to meet growing trip demand and reduce wait times, for service expansion in 2026.
