“Antigonish Community Transit Society hired Common Good Solutions to conduct a complete review of our fixed bus route. This project began in January 2023 and was completed in June. The final report was extensive and provided valuable insight into the fixed route. CGS conducted surveys and community meetings obtaining valuable input from our clients, partners, and stakeholders. They worked closely with the ACTS Executive Director and members of the board to ensure the project was completed on time. The final report has been invaluable as we assess the current service and determine what the next steps will be. CGS were professional, accommodating, and delivered a concise report within the timeline required. We highly recommend Common Good Solutions and would be pleased to work with them in the future with any other consulting needs.”
