Frank Stronach’s SARIT (Safe, Affordable, Reliable, Innovative Transit) vehicle is getting closer to reality. The factory located in the outskirts of Whitchurch-Stouffville on Aurora Road just east of Highway 404 is set to open later this year with vehicles becoming available not too long afterwards.
While the site on the 2159 Aurora Rd. property is located within the settlement area of the Vandorf community and was designated as a potential residential area, Stronach helped alleviate some local residents’ concerns by conveying adjacent land to enlarge the properties. Daniel Lajeunesse, vice president of Micro-Mobility and Commercialization, said it looks like they will move into the factory in August with mass public availability not likely until early next year.
Stronach and SARIT announced a partnership with York University in June along with a $100,000 donation where students and faculty would do research for the SARIT.
