Loyalist Link

This pilot program launched on November 4, 2024 and aims to enhance transportation options for residents of additional communities in the Township including Bath, Odessa, and the Amherst Island Ferry Terminal in Millhaven. The service will also provide a vital public transportation link to workplaces in the Taylor-Kidd Industrial Park and the Loyalist East Business Park. This service is provided by Loyalist Township under contract with Stock Transportation.

The pilot is set to run until December 31, 2025 and is being funded in part through a $192,000 Community Transportation Grant from the Province's Community Connection Funding through Lennox and Addington County and Provincial Gas Tax funding. Users can ride the Loyalist Link with Kingston Transit fares.
