The City of Beaumont, in collaboration with its transit management company Zip, is considering a proposed new transit service project aimed at providing transit connectivity in the areas surrounding the 105 Highway and Major Road intersection. This new service, known as the “105 Link,” will operate as a pilot program over an initial pilot program of four to six months. The Pilot program will provide valuable ridership data for the development of possible permanent transit services.

The 105 Link is set to fill a crucial gap in the Zip’s coverage area, particularly in a high-density, rapidly growing section of Beaumont. This service route and hours of operation is designed to provide residents with mobility to access essential needs such as grocery stores, job centers, social services, bike trails, city parks, educational institutions, medical facilities, and leisure destinations.

The 105 Link will seamlessly integrate with existing Zip routes like Parkdale and College. By connecting to these routes, which link to the Zip’s downtown transfer station, the 105 Link significantly expands opportunities for riders to access virtually every part of Beaumont.
