Transit Fare- Free Study

In 2023, Burlington City Council directed Burlington Transit staff to look into offering free transit for all riders. Staff will report back to Burlington City Council by the end of 2024. Burlington Transit is working to study community benefits, risks, impacts and the fiscal sustainability of fare-free Burlington transit service, to everyone who chose to use Burlington Transit for their travel plans. The objective of this study is to undertake an in-depth impartial and balanced review of free-fare Burlington transit and provide the necessary analysis to enable Burlington City Council to make an informed decision regarding fare-free Burlington transit for all riders. Responses from this survey will be included in the information provided to Burlington City Council.
