The Town of South Bruce Peninsula is partnering with Grey County to extend the Grey Transit Route to Sauble Beach.
In a release on March 3rd, the Town of South Bruce Peninsula announced that the new partnership will begin as a pilot project, with the route extension to Sauble Beach running Friday through Monday beginning this May all the way through this September. More information on the schedule will be shared in the coming weeks leading up to the launch of the route extension. Businesses in Sauble Beach had told South Bruce Peninsula Council that a lack of transportation and public parking made it difficult to attract and keep seasonal workers at times.

“Our Sauble business owners have told us that lack of transportation and paid parking has made it difficult for them to attract and retain seasonal employees. Council hopes that this pilot project will help address some of these challenges,” says South Bruce Peninsula Mayor Janice Jackson.
“In addition to developing a solution to a specific workforce development issue, this initiative could help to reduce some of the demand for visitor parking. If promoted, visitors could park at lots outside of Sauble Beach and take the bus into the tourist district,” says Danielle Edwards, Economic Development Officer for the Town of South Bruce Peninsula.
