Niagara Transit Rides To Public Facilities
Niagara Transit offers free rides to designated public facilities during weather advisories, including cold-weather advisories and heat warnings. These facilities provide essential shelter and comfort during weather conditions.
Extreme Cold Weather
Niagara Region issues a Winter Weather Advisory when temperatures drop below -10C overnight. Niagara Transit uses this threshold to begin giving vulnerable people free rides to warming centres.
Extreme Hot Weather
During extreme heat days, Niagara Transit offers free rides to designated public facilities during official Environment and Climate Change Canada heat warnings. These centres provide a safe and comfortable place to cool off and stay hydrated, including local community centres, libraries, and designated public spaces.
Additional Support
If you have questions about warming and cooling centres or need homelessness support, please call 211 and ask for Niagara Assertive Street Outreach (NASO).
