Clarenville — A new wheelchair-accessible bus will be on the road serving the Clarenville region after an investment of $260,000 from the federal government and the Town of Clarenville.
This was announced by MP Churence Rogers and Mayor John Pickett. The new bus will be operated by Clarenville Region Extended Seniors Transportation (CREST) and will provide low cost, on demand transportation service for seniors and individuals with disabilities. The bus is expected to be in service in early 2025.
“Random Age-Friendly Communities and the Town of Clarenville have worked hard to provide accessible transit service through their CREST program. Our government is proud to support community-led initiatives like CREST that improve rural transit and accessibility across the country.” – Churence Rogers, MeP for Bonavista–Burin–Trinity, on behalf of Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities
