About the Project
Loyalist Township is actively working to improve its public transit services to better serve its residents. Through public surveys and comprehensive studies, the Township has identified key areas for enhancement, such as expanding and optimizing transit routes. These initiatives are part of a broader effort to offer more efficient, accessible, and sustainable transportation options that enhance the overall quality of life in the community. Currently, transportation options in Loyalist Township include the Amherst Island Ferry, the Loyalist Link Pilot Program, and Route 10 of the City of Kingston’s transit system.
Loyalist Link Transit Pilot Program
Loyalist Township launched the Loyalist Link in November 2024, a new transit service pilot that aims to enhance transportation options for residents of additional communities in the Township, including Bath, Odessa, and the Amherst Island Ferry Terminal in Millhaven. The service will also provide a vital public transportation link to workplaces in the Taylor-Kidd Industrial Park and the Loyalist East Business Park.
This initiative is being funded in part through a $192,000 Community Transportation Grant from the Province's Community Connection Funding through Lennox and Addington County and Provincial Gas Tax funding. The new transit service will operate on a fixed route designed to connect locations in Loyalist Township to the City of Kingston via the Gardiners Town Centre in Kingston and to the Cataraqui Town Centre via the Route 10 bus in Amherstview.
The pilot program will enable residents to conveniently access essential services and employment opportunities, improving mobility within our community. Users will benefit from the ability to utilize Kingston Transit Fare Passes.
