Welcome

Ferry and air transportation services to Pelee Island support local business, permanent and seasonal residents and local agricultural and tourism/recreational markets.

The Pelee Island Transportation Needs Study is being undertaken by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to develop a sustainable transportation plan for Pelee Island, including passenger and cargo capacity, service frequency and scheduling, marine and air port facilities and passenger amenities for the horizon year of 2032. The objectives of the study are to:

1. Examine Pelee Island service problems and transportation needs.
2. Consider alternatives to address the problems and transportation needs.
3. Identify a 20-year strategy with recommendations regarding existing and future capacity constraints to the present ferry and air services .

In consultation with the Township of Pelee, the public, local municipalities and government agencies, transportation service alternatives have been generated and evaluated. The project outcome will be documented in a 20-Year Transportation Strategy Report.
