Have Your Say on Transit: LaSalle Develops Five‑Year Transit Master Plan

The Town of LaSalle is developing a Transit Master Plan to review how transit works today and how it should improve over the next five years. The Plan will look at where people live, where the Town is growing and how transit can better serve the community. In December 2025, the Town of LaSalle engaged Left Turn Right Turn, an Ontario-based firm, to lead the process to develop a plan for transit over the next five years.  

LaSalle Transit Route 25 was introduced in 2017. The route in LaSalle is covered by one route utilizing two buses:  one starting at St. Clair College and one around Morton Drive at Front Road. It takes approximately 45 minutes for one bus to travel the entire LaSalle route. The current route captures approximately 70% of the homes located in LaSalle's urban area. Between 2023 and 2025, LaSalle Transit averaged around 32,000 rides per year.   

Transit service has exceeded the expectations of the Town. More people are using transit, showing the value and need of transit service in the community. Beyond this growth, the context, relevance and possibilities of public transit have changed since the system first started. By understanding these broader changes, the Town can better align their strategies and services and anticipate future opportunities between LaSalle Transit and neighbouring systems.  

Representatives from Left Turn Right Turn and Town administration will be hosting a public open house to talk about transit on Tuesday, March 3 in the lobby at the Vollmer Centre, 2121 Laurier Parkway. Members of the public are welcome to stop in any time between 10:00 am to 11:30 am, or 4:00 pm to 7:30 pm to learn more and share feedback about LaSalle Transit.  

“Whether you ride transit often, once in a while, or not at all, the public’s input helps us understand what the community needs and what should be prioritized. We hope to hear about experiences riding the current system, expectations, and ideas for the future,” said Peter Marra, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer. 

The Transit Master Plan will review the current transit system by identify needs, challenges, gaps, and recommend ways to improve services and ensure transit reflects the needs and priorities of residents, user groups, and staff. 

For those unable to attend the open house, the public will also have an opportunity to answer an online survey or leave comments on the community engagement page on PlaceSpeak. Both the survey and PlaceSpeak will be available in March. For more information, visit Transit Master Plan.
