Cochrane On-Demand Local Transit (COLT)


At this time, it’s free to ride COLT; buses continue to run, though in a diminished capacity. Rider numbers are restricted to six per vehicle and physical distancing practices are in effect. We want to ensure Cochranites can get to work and essential appointments. We have implemented enhanced safety and cleaning measures for our fleet of buses, including:

  • Thorough wipe down of all high contact areas on buses to be completed twice daily, this includes handrails, doorknobs, chairs, armrests, and head rests
  • Enhanced cleaning process by external cleaning staff
  • Ultrastatic coating of all bus interiors with medical-grade disinfectant
  • Bus capacity has been limited to a maximum of 6 passengers
  • Passengers are to maintain 2 metres minimum distance between each other

COLT is closely monitoring the situation and we remain in contact with regional health authorities and other transit agencies to determine best practices and ensure our response is appropriate.
