- Walking distances to nearest transit stop/commercial centre are significant (e.g. industrial business park);
- Travel patterns are not aligned with transit routes; or
- Employee shift times are outside of transit service hours.

Provide shuttle services free of charge to residents and/or employees where there is significant demand for a shuttle service.
