"As Oakville grows, our transit system will experience some challenges," said Barry Cole, Director of Transit Services for Oakville Transit. "We are committed to providing residents with the best service possible. To do that, we need the public's help." A public forum will be held at 7 p.m. at Town Hall on Thursday, April 5. Residents are invited to attend and to share their ideas on the future of Oakville Transit. To supplement information gathered at the forum, residents are also encouraged to share their thoughts in a short online survey at www.oakvilletransit.com. The survey is available for the next month and includes basic demographical questions, as well as queries about travel patterns and factors that influence ridership. "While our survey takes only minutes to complete, the feedback it provides is invaluable," said Cole.
