North Perth Transit Survey

The Municipality of North Perth is conducting a Transit Feasibility Study. This study will explore and understand the mobility needs of our community and develop potential effective and efficient transit solutions to accommodate these needs. The findings will be presented to Council later this year, who will determine next steps and decide whether to move forward with the plan.

This survey aims to gather insights into how residents, employees, and visitors travel within North Perth and to nearby urban centres like Stratford and Kitchener. The results will be used to help design a potential transit service and identify how well it may be used.

Your participation in this survey is important for shaping the future of transit in our community. Please note that all questions are optional, and you can exit the survey at any time. Your responses will remain confidential and will solely be used to inform the transit feasibility study. Non-identifiable summaries of the results may be shared publicly.

The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. The survey will close on June 13, 2025.

If you have any questions regarding the survey, or require an accommodation to participate, please contact Lindsay Cline at 519-292-2062 or lcline@northperth.ca and we will work with you to meet your accessibility needs.
