Activate Transit Windsor Essex is a grassroots advocacy group working for a more accessible and sustainable transportation system in Windsor and Essex County.
Windsor Essex
Joined June 2021
During the week of August 13th through 19th ATWE is running our first “Bus or Bust” campaign. Good public transit is vital to a strong city, and we are challenging Windsorites to take one transit ride to a spot in the city where they may not normally travel.

As our kids go #BackToSchool, never forget that we ARE the traffic that we’re using as an excuse. If they walked, biked or rode transit to school, it would erase a massive number of car trips each day, and our kids would be safer, healthier and better at school. Spread the word.

Canadians deserve strong, reliable, and accessible public transit! ➡️ That’s why our Liberal government is putting over $2.9 billion on the table to strengthen public transit right across the country. Real investments that will make life easier for #WindsorEssex residents 🚍

Don't be fooled. There IS enough space on our streets to make them enjoyable for walking, biking, transit & uncomplicated community living. The real "capacity" of our streets is fundamently about our priorities. Are streets just for cars or for everyone?

Wait for passengers to exit before boarding. It's a small courtesy that makes a big difference in the flow of the commute. Let's keep it smooth! 🚶♂️👋 #transitwindsor

You're doing a heck of a job. My Public Transit system prices keep going up. #YQG #JRN428 #TransitWindsor @ActivateTransit @CityWindsorON @fordnation.
We’re making it more convenient and more affordable to use public transit. The Metrolinx PRESTO Test Lab is currently testing technology that will eliminate double fares. That means riders will pay one fare to take transit across the GTA which equals more money in your pocket.

It’s frustrating that those leading Canadas biggest transit projects and systems are often deeply unfamiliar with transit.
