Connecting the Community – The Downtown Shuttle Bus Program is Back for 2025

CENTRE WELLINGTON - The Elora & Fergus Downtown Shuttle Program is back again for 2025, now offering a Friday service along with the regular Saturday, Sunday, and statutory Holiday service as in previous years. Helping to alleviate parking constraints in the downtown areas of Elora and Fergus, the shuttle will allow visitors and residents to park outside of these locations and be transported – free of charge – to key areas of the Township. This year’s shuttle bus will commence on Friday, May 16 and will end on Sunday, September 14, 2025. 

Similar to previous years, a Tourism Ambassador will be on board every single ride to provide support to visitors and residents while promoting festivals, events and local businesses! We hope to create another memorable summer for those who use the shuttle with the goal in mind of improving local mobility, enhancing tourism, promoting sustainability, supporting local businesses, and fostering a sense of community.

The shuttle bus will operate from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, leaving the Grand River Raceway (7445 Wellington County Rd 21, Elora) every hour, on the hour, beginning at 11:00 am, and the last trip will take place at 5:00 pm. Every hour, the shuttle will leave the Grand River Raceway Facility and transport passengers to the following locations:

• MacDonald Square
• Elora Centre for the Arts/Bissell Park
• Wellington County Museum and Archives
• Fergus Marketplace
• Centre Wellington Sportsplex

The route will start over at 12:00 pm, 1:00 pm, 2:00 pm, 3:00 pm, 4:00pm, and 5:00pm on Fridays, weekends, and statutory Holidays throughout the summer.

The Downtown Shuttle Program is a collaborative effort, and would not be possible without our generous sponsors who have continued to support this program: Wrighthaven Homes, The County of Wellington, Elora BIA, Fergus BIA, Grand River Agricultural Society, and the Centre Wellington Chamber of Commerce.
