Executive Summary This item provides an update on the Simcoe County Linx and Linx Plus Transit service before COVID-19, adaptations made during the pandemic, and the outlook moving forward. Simcoe County LINX transit service began operation in September 2018. The current conventional transit service operates along four corridors: • Route 1 – Barrie to Midland /Penetanguishene • Route 2 – Barrie to Wasaga Beach • Route 3 – Barrie – Oro-Medonte – Orillia • Route 4 – Wasaga Beach to Collingwood Route 5, Alliston to Bradford will begin on Tuesday, August 4, 2020 with free service for the first month. Fare service will commence on Route 5 in September 2020. Route 6 Penetanguishene/ Midland – Tay – Severn – Oro-Medonte – Orillia will have a later start date of early fall due to the delay of bus deliveries as a result of COVID-19. Transit service levels have been reduced as ridership has decreased due to COVID –19. Transit staff will continue to monitor COVID-19 ridership levels and plan for reintroduction of service hours as required. Based on average ridership numbers and average fares seen prior to March 23 it is estimated that approximately $133K in fare revenues have been foregone (waived) between March 23 and the end of June. Transit service reductions began in April and savings are estimated to total approximately $214K.
