On Thursday, September 22, 2022, the RM of Piney and Eco-West Canada, who are working on a regional, collaborative approach to complete a needs assessment of transit service in southeast Manitoba (east of the Red River and south of the TransCanada Highway), hosted a meeting in Steinbach to formally launch the initiative. This was the beginning of a process in which critical feedback from community residents, businesses and leaders will form the basis for determining transit needs and possible solutions across a wide region covering over 17 municipalities and First Nation communities.

Having a focused regional transit strategy in place will ignite connections for residents of all ages and in particular the area’s vulnerable populations.
