Transit

GOVA Transit is responding to declining ridership and the need for physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Public transit will reduce frequency of service on most routes and suspend some routes until further notice.

Updated routes and schedules are available online at www.greatersudbury.ca/transit and mybus.greatersudbury.ca.

Printed schedules will be mailed on request by calling 705-675-3333.

The decision to modify GOVA routes and schedules follows a 70 per cent decrease in ridership on weekdays and a 50 per cent decrease on weekends since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The community’s response to prevent the spread of the virus has resulted in an average of less than 15 passengers per bus during peak times on major routes.

Boat Launches

To protect residents and slow the potential spread of COVID-19 in the community, all municipal boat launches within the City of Greater Sudbury will be temporarily closed to the public, effective immediately.

These measures align with the City’s efforts to minimize travel, keep people home and avoid gatherings in public settings.

Boat launches will remain closed for the duration of the Province’s State of Emergency, and the corresponding closure of recreational facilities.

Landfills

Spring Residential Tipping Fee Holiday Postponed.

Due to the ongoing provincial and local State of Emergencies, the Residential Tipping Fee Holiday scheduled for the week of May 11, 2020, has been postponed.

Landfills remain closed to the public to support physical distancing.
