CKTransit Rebrand

Chatham Kent Transit is getting a new name.

As of Friday, July 2nd Chatham Kent’s public transit services will officially adopt the name Ride CK.

Manager of Engineering Ann-Marie Millson says the fresh branding compliments the permanent implementation of Chatham’s Route 5, mid-day runs on Inter-Urban routes A, C and D as well as on request evening service operating past midnight Monday to Friday.

These new transit services have been implemented based on public feedback following a successful pilot period.

The system is adding some new vehicles on the road as well – 13 battery electric low-floor transit buses, and two new accessibility service vehicles as well as a dual door bus to be added to Route 1 in the fall.

Funding for the new vehicles was provided by the Provincial and Federal governments under the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program and Gas Tax Funds for Public Transportation.
