The City of Orillia is committed to providing accessible public transit for its residents. That is why the City operates Orillia Transit and continually strives to improve the city-wide service offered. Routes and schedules have recently been altered and expanded to aid the growing number of post-secondary students attending Georgian College and Lakehead University.
During the winter season, transit drivers will adjust stops so that the riders can more easily board and disembark the bus in an area that is clear of snow near the bus stop.
Please inform the driver at the bus stop and they will arrange for the accessible vehicle to assist in a timely manner.
Wheelchair users have priority. Our buses include a designated area to safely accommodate riders using wheelchairs, scooters, walkers and/or other assistive devices. Passengers using these mobility aids have priority use of this designated area and all other passengers must vacate this area if these patrons require it.
If this area is available, passengers with other needs, such as caregivers travelling with a collapsible stroller, pregnant women and passengers travelling with a collapsible bundle buggy, may use this space provided they vacate the space for those passengers identified above.
For the safety of our passengers - and in accordance with the Highway Traffic Act, all wheelchairs and scoots must be secured by the bus operator using the securement system and the operator must be able to hook the system to a solid section of the frame of the mobility aid.
