Connecting Muskoka Communities East, West, North and South!

Muskoka is a large region, making it a challenge for some residents to travel without a personal vehicle for transportation.  Learn more about the Community Transit Services supported by the District and made available in Muskoka by clicking on the services below.

Muskoka's Transportation Network

The Muskoka Transit app allows residents to plan their trips within and beyond Muskoka by viewing routes of Muskoka transit services all in one interactive map.  

Mapped routes include the Corridor 11 Bus, the Rural and Community Connection Service, the Bracebridge Transit – Ride the Wave, Huntsville Transit and connections to the Simcoe County LINX. 

The transit map below is best viewed in the Muskoka GeoHub web mapping application.
GeoHub allows you to interact with the map, including turning on and off map layers, printing personalized maps and more!

Community Transportation Plan

The goal of the District's Community Transportation Plan (CTP) is to develop accessible, affordable, sustainable transportation solutions for both urban and rural residents, including services that move residents east and west within Muskoka. The CTP recommends a new rural service, improvements to the current Corridor 11 service, and suggestions to help us create a seamless transportation network across Muskoka with connections to broader options to the south.

For more information about the CTP, or to subscribe to email updates on the CTP project, visit the CTP project page on the Engage Muskoka Platform at www.engagemuskoka.ca/community-transportation.
