The Town of Amherst is doing a study to explore a public transit service, and WSP Canada Inc. has been retained to assist.
Many communities across Nova Scotia are facing challenges related to mobility, affordability, and accessibility. A local transit service in Amherst could provide:
- More travel options for people who don’t drive
- Easier access to jobs, school, healthcare, and shopping
- A greener, more sustainable transportation choice
- Better regional connections
We Want To Hear From You
Our short survey will help us better understand bus route options and other local travel needs, challenges, and opportunities for a potential transit service in Amherst.
Access our transit survey here. Please share your input before September 22, 2025.
