Let us reintroduce you to the River Route Transit 🚌🌊

Running along County Road 2, River Route connects Brockville, Augusta, Prescott, and Edwardsburgh Cardinal — linking communities, workplaces, and waterfront destinations all in one easy loop.

Whether you’re commuting to major employers or heading out to explore, the route makes getting around simple, accessible, and stress-free.

Spend the day discovering South Grenville — from scenic parks and national historic sites to charming downtown shops, restaurants, golf courses, and seasonal events — all without needing a car.

With a refreshed website and evolving routes arriving July 2026, River Route continues to grow — making it easier than ever to ride, explore, and experience the majestic St. Lawrence.
