Municipality Launches Public Transportation Engagement

INVERNESS COUNTY, UNAMA’KI – The Municipality of the County of Inverness is inviting
residents to provide input into public transportation in Inverness County through an
interactive website, cbcl.mysocialpinpoint.com/ride. CBCL, the consultant for the project,
created the website to provide residents with the opportunity to map out their desired
transit routes and stops, and participate in a short survey. The survey is designed for
residents to inform the Municipality how they get around Inverness County – whether it
be by car, bus, taxi, or bike.

The Municipal Public Transportation Review is guided by the vision that sustainable public
transportation contributes to a healthy population, economy, and environment. Public
feedback will help inform recommendations for the future based on public input, travel
trends, and sustainable public transportation practices for rural communities.

“With the public’s help, the Municipality can gather information that will advance public
transportation improvements in partnership with transit operators,” said Keith
MacDonald, CAO of the Municipality of the County of Inverness. “Access to public
transportation for Inverness County residents and businesses is important, now and in
the future.”

Residents can also provide input by visiting Municipal staff in-person at the Cheticamp
farmers market on August 27 and the Mabou Farmers Market on August 28.

Surveys can be filled out until September 17 online at cbcl.mysocialpinpoint.com/ride.
Paper copies can be picked up at the Municipal Office in Port Hood at 86 High Street or
375 Main Street.
