Huron Shores Area Transit Launches New Library Pass Program

Huron Shores Area Transit (HSAT) has partnered with local libraries to launch a Smart Card Library Pass to provide library cardholders unlimited free rides during a five-day loan period. Participating libraries include Lambton, Huron, North Middlesex, and Kettle & Stony Point FN.

The new Smart Card Library program is designed to encourage residents who have not yet tried the local public transit option and experience the convenient and affordable travel option. The program is planned to be in place for the full year and may be extended into 2025.

Regular HSAT rides cost $5 or $10, depending on a passenger’s starting location and destination. For example, from Grand Bend, Bayfield, or Exeter, the fare to London or Sarnia is just $10. To take advantage of the free five-day loan period, Smart Card Library Passes can be borrowed from libraries in Arkona, Bayfield, Exeter, Forest, Goderich, Grand Bend, Hensall, Kettle & Stony Point First Nation, Port Franks, Sarnia, Thedford, and Zurich.

The pass is non-renewable, enabling as many cardholders as possible to borrow the pass and try out local public transit.

HSAT’s affordable, inter-community public transit links Lambton Shores, South Huron, North Middlesex, Bluewater and Kettle & Stony Point First Nation with each other and Sarnia, London, Goderich and Strathroy.
