Stage 2 ION: Light rail transit from Kitchener to Cambridge

ION, the Region of Waterloo's rapid transit service, which was approved by Council in June 2011, is a visionary plan that will help shape our community for the future by bringing LRT to the region in two stages.

Stage 2 ION will see the Region replace the ION bus service in Cambridge with LRT, creating a seamless LRT route across Waterloo Region's three urban centres. Public consultation is an important and ongoing part of the planning process.

In June 2019, Region of Waterloo Council endorsed the full Preferred Route for the Stage 2 ION project.

In April 2020, Region of Waterloo Council endorsed the Preliminary Design and directed staff to commence the Transit Project Assessment (TPA) process.
