Rural Transit
This project provides information resources on rural transit and transportation solutions. It represents an archive of information compiled over a five year period when ROI conducted the Accelerating Rural Transportation Solutions partnership project and then created and supported the Ontario Community Transportation Network for three years along with the Ontario Healthy Communities Coalition. With the cessation of Network funding the information resources are no longer being actively curated and updated. Nonetheless, many of the information resources remain relevant to communities actively working on Rural Transit Solutions.
