Do you support the municipality taking responsibility for snow removal from sidewalks adjacent to private properties?single choice

Yes, but roads should take priority; sidewalks cleared after

Do you support expanding fare-free transit for the Region?single choice

Yes, for specific groups

Would you like to provide any additional context for your views on transportation?candidate's own words

North Dumfries is a rural township, so transportation solutions must reflect our geography, population and ridership. Many residents will continue to depend on vehicles, but residents who cannot drive should not be isolated. I support practical and financially sustainable connections between Ayr and the broader regional transit network, starting with solutions appropriate to community needs and expanding as demand justifies it.

If you selected "Yes, for specific groups" above, which groups?candidate's own words

Seniors (ex. extend Older Adult Day Pass pilot), People with disabilities, Low-income residents

Please describe one criterion or principle that should not be compromised when making transit investment decisions.candidate's own words

Accessibility and financial sustainability. Transit investments should provide meaningful access for residents while remaining appropriate to community needs, ridership and what taxpayers can reasonably afford.

Other priority not listed abovecandidate's own words

North Dumfries is a rural township, so transportation solutions must reflect our geography, population and ridership. Many residents will continue to depend on vehicles, but people who cannot drive—including some seniors, youth, people with disabilities and lower-income residents—should not be isolated. I support exploring practical and financially sustainable connections between Ayr and the broader regional transit network, starting with solutions appropriate to actual community needs and expanding as demand justifies it.

Please name one specific street, corridor, or project where you would prioritize these changes.candidate's own words

I would prioritize improving practical transit connections between Ayr and Cambridge, giving North Dumfries residents better access to employment, education, shopping, health services and the broader regional transit network.
