NEWS RELEASE
TOWN OF INNISFIL
*************************
INNISFIL - The Town of Innisfil is proud to be launching Fair Transit – a new, innovative discount program to provide our community’s most vulnerable individuals with access to safe, dependable, affordable transit.
“One of the most exciting pieces about our Innisfil Transit system, is the ability to make enhancements just like this in no time,” said Innisfil Mayor Lynn Dollin. “Through this new program we will provide meaningful, direct assistance to our population’s most vulnerable and do it in a way that doesn’t force an individual to face any stigma.”
“Uber Transit is excited to continue our partnership with the Town of Innisfil by making transportation affordable for riders who need it the most. We look forward to helping the Town offer more discounts through Fair Transit on the existing Innisfil Transit Program,” said David Reich, Head of Uber Transit.
Approved applicants will be exempted from the cap of 30 rides per month, receive two free return trips to the Innisfil Food Bank and receive 50 per cent off all Innisfil Transit fares. Details about eligibility, documentation required, and application forms are all available at Innisfil.ca/transit.
Once applicants are approved, the discounted fares will be applied directly to the user’s account. Details about an individual’s Fair Transit status are known only to the user and the Town of Innisfil.
Separately, the Town of Innisfil is also launching a complete 2-year evaluation of Innisfil Transit and is seeking feedback from residents. Visit getinvolvedinnisfil.ca/transit to leave your feedback today.
