Durham Transit
Durham Region Transit (DRT) is the regional public transit operator in Durham Region, east of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Its headquarters are at 605 Rossland Rd East in Whitby, Ontario, and there are regional centres in Ajax, Whitby, and Oshawa.
DRT's operation is overseen by the Durham Region Transit Commission, consisting of the members of Durham Region Council.
Divisions
DRT is organized into operating divisions mirroring its predecessor systems:
- 'Raleigh (originally known as DRT East) serving the City of Oshawa and the Municipality of Clarington
- Victoria (originally know as DRT Centre) serving the Town of Whitby
- Westney (originally known as DRT West) serving the Town of Ajax and the City of Pickering
- North (originally known as DRT North) serving the Townships of Brock, Scugog, and Uxbridge
- DRT Specialized Services providing service for the disabled
Whitby continues to operate under the terms of an existing Whitby Transit contract with Trentway-Wagar expiring in April 2010. The drivers and maintenance staff are therefore employees of Trentway-Wagar. Brock, Scugog & Uxbridge operations are also a contracted operation.
