Trying to get from Windsor to LaSalle, or vice versa? Now you can take a bus.

Tuesday morning marked the debut of transit service between the two municipalities. From now on, buses on the new LaSalle 25 route will make regular trips between the St. Clair College campus in South Windsor and LaSalle’s Vollmer Complex.

“The beauty of this is that it’s a seamless service,” said Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens, who boarded the bus Tuesday for its inaugural ride to LaSalle.

Transit Windsor is responsible for the route. The Town of LaSalle is paying $400,000 annually for the service.

The new arrangement has been in development for years. Dilkens pointed out that the last time there was transit service between Windsor and LaSalle was in the 1970s.

“We think there’s some demand. LaSalle thinks there’s demand,” Dilkens said. “Hopefully, this is the framework that lets us expand the service further into Essex County.”
