Implementing a By-law for Electric Scooters and Bikes (eg. mandatory helmets, maximum of 20km/hr speed). Traveling at this speed helps prevent loss of control and lowers the risk of severe injuries during sudden stops or collisions.

Reduce the operational costs during off-peak hours; by avoiding the use of oversized, underutilized buses.
Increase the use of demand-responsive transit in low-demand areas where regularly scheduled bus service is not cost-effective. Passengers can book a trip in real time through the town app or by calling a booking agent, with convenient pick-up at the nearest bus stop in urban areas or directly at their homes where appropriate.
This approach can reduce operating costs while providing residents with a more flexible, accessible, and convenient public transportation option.
