ActiVan is a public transportation service operated by the Town of Halton Hills for both persons with disabilities and seniors 65+. You may travel anywhere within the municipal boundaries of Halton Hills for any purpose including trips between Acton and Georgetown. The SPLIT pass is a program through Halton Region that subsidizes the cost of ActiVan and Taxi Scrip coupons for low income students, adults and seniors, in Halton Hills.
