Let’s keep our region moving – cities launch passenger rail survey

Would you benefit from additional VIA Rail service between Toronto and Kingston?

The City of Kingston and our municipal partners in Port Hope, Belleville and Coburg are coming together to gather public feedback on additional VIA Rail service in the region, including a late-night train option from Toronto to Kingston.

“Passenger rail is one of the key transportation options that keep Kingston and all eastern Ontario communities connected,” said Mayor Bryan Paterson. “Through this survey, we are asking residents if there is community interest in new rail service options, including a late-night train possibility.” Your voice matters and you can let us know if this would benefit you by completing a short Survey by Nov. 17.

The City recently passed a motion in October to call on VIA Rail to maintain service levels to the city and commit to a forward-thinking plan for enhanced passenger rail service in Kingston. This includes partnering with local municipal governments to conduct a survey to see if there is enough support for a late-night train from Toronto.

The City of Kingston acknowledges that we are on the traditional homeland of the Anishinabek, Haudenosaunee, and the Huron-Wendat, and thanks these nations for their care and stewardship over this shared land.

Today, the City is committed to working with Indigenous peoples and all residents to pursue a united path of reconciliation.
