Town of Caledon will be launching an on-demand transit pilot with Argo

CALEDON, ON (June 23, 2026) – The Town of Caledon is taking another step toward offering residents sustainable transit options through a new partnership with Argo Transit. Through this pilot partnership, an on-demand ride service will be available within select communities.

Starting in Fall 2026, the 15-month pilot program will introduce Argo’s on-demand transit service in Caledon, enabling riders to pre-book trips or request rides in real time through a mobile app or by phone.

The pilot will serve Bolton, Caledon East, and Mayfield West/Southfields, enabling the Town to evaluate the performance of an on-demand transit model within the local context. The service will also provide connections to Brampton Transit, York Region Transit, and GO Transit.

“Caledon continues to explore innovative solutions to improve how residents move throughout our community,” said Mayor Annette Groves. “This pilot reflects our commitment to delivering accessible, efficient and sustainable transit options while embracing new technologies that have the potential to improve service for our residents.”

The pilot supports the Town’s broader transportation objectives by expanding transit options to improve mobility and accessibility within the Town while also broadening connections to neighbouring transit services and communities by exploring solutions that can adapt to changing travel patterns in one of Ontario’s fastest-growing communities. Argo’s Smart Routing™ technology picks riders up at their door, combining trips headed in the same direction, for the cost of a standard transit fare.

“We’re excited to partner with Argo to test a model that could help shape the future of transit in Caledon,” said Domenica D’Amico, Commissioner of Engineering, Public Works and Transportation. “This pilot will provide an opportunity to evaluate a flexible transit model that can respond to rider demand while helping us better understand how innovative transit solutions can support our growing community.”

"Caledon is shaping a transit service designed for the way its communities actually move. We're proud to provide the Smart Routing technology that powers it, bringing on-demand, door-to-door transit to Caledon for the first time," said Praveen Arichandran, CEO and Co-founder of Argo. "The Town's leadership in exploring new approaches to public transit will improve accessibility, increase efficiency, and provide residents with a more convenient way to travel. We look forward to working with the Town to help shape the next generation of community transit."
