We are committed to ensuring our community is accessible and meets the needs of our residents. The Age-Friendly Caledon Action Plan outlines Mobility, Community and Health Supports, and Safety and Accessibility as some of our top priorities.

Transportation

We believe it's important for you to be able to access local community services and stay active while you age and getting around Caledon can be a challenge. That's why we developed our Adult 55+ Transportation Resource Guide. To help you navigate what options are currently available in Caledon.

This guide includes both private and public transportation options and have been verified by the Seniors' Task Force members for accuracy and availability.

The Transportation Resource Guide is available in a printable PDF version. Contact us for a copy.
