Lanark County and the Town of Smiths Falls are inviting residents and visitors to participate in the second round of public consultation for the Rural Transit Feasibility Study, which aims to explore solutions for improving transit options across the region.
The study, led by consulting firm Arcadis, is assessing current transportation challenges and developing strategies to enhance mobility for rural communities. Based on feedback from the first round of consultation, the project team has developed several transit scenarios and is now seeking input on their benefits and trade-offs.
Public Drop-In Events will be held in August at the following locations:
Tuesday, August 12, 2025
12:30 to 2:30 p.m. – Perth Library, 30 Herriott Street, Town of Perth
4:00 to 6:00 p.m. – Almonte Library, 155 High Street, Municipality of Mississippi Mills
Wednesday, August 13, 2025
2:00 to 4:00 p.m. – Town Hall, 77 Beckwith Street North, Town of Smiths Falls
These informal drop-in sessions offer an opportunity to learn more about the study, ask questions, and share feedback directly with the project team. Public input is vital to shaping a transit strategy that reflects local needs and priorities.
For those unable to attend in person, feedback can be submitted through an online form available on the Lanark County website at www.lanarkcounty.ca/transit until August 29th, 2025.
