City officials are also hoping to gather feedback from riders through an online survey and present their recommendations for future development of the program to council.

The pilot project is part of the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF) from the Government of Canada, with half of the cost being contributed by the City of Hamilton through council approval.
