Our History

 Our History


  • 2012

    As Routes Connecting Communities continued to evolve and grow, it was time to reimagine the organizational identity and rebrand the RCC logo. The new logo, We Connect Communities, encompassed the heart of what we do. It allowed for a visual representation of all of the workers, volunteers, and board members that worked tirelessly to make a difference in the community. 


    Moving people has always been our primary goal, and we now realize we can move people in many more ways than providing rides. Helping people develop and grow is what led to the idea of roots and roads. The word Routes speaks to so many of our ideas and hopes for our community. We’re here to help people discover the routes available in life and to develop strong roots that empower them to independence.


    Our organization was known as Georgina Mobility Transit/Transit Georgina for many years. In 2013 we officially became "Routes Connecting Communities". This more accurately reflects our work while honouring the remarkable roots from which we have grown.

    In June, Georgina Mobility Transit and Transit Georgina amalgamated to form one consolidated non-profit charity with the goal of improving the transportation needs of Georgina residents.

  • 1994

    Transit Georgina was formed by a group of local citizens who were concerned about the special transportation needs of people who were at high risk of social isolation. These needs would include parents with sole support of their children, youth, frail elderly people, and people suffering from serious acute and chronic illnesses. Transit Georgina grew from an initiative of the Premier’s Council on Health, Well-being and Social Justice. Transit Georgina, which was initially called “The Transportation Club,” was made up of a Rider-Driver matching system.

  • 1991

    Georgina Mobility Transit was incorporated as a registered charity, and thanks to support from the Town of Georgina, it operated a Mobility Bus for 12 years.

  • 1989

    A group of concerned local citizens formed Georgina Mobility Transit  to address the transportation challenges faced by some of the local community residents.
