Rollsigns from York Region, ON
Markham - Southeast Division
York Region Transit's Markham Division has its roots at the Miller Paving yard on Miller Avenue just east of
Woodbine Avenue. Miller Paving has a long term contract with York Region to store and maintain the buses for
the region. Starting in 1984, this contract predates the merger that created York Region Transit by 17 years. In
2003, Miller took over the Richmond Hill routes after the contract with Pacific Western was not renewed. In the
middle 2000s (between 2005 and 2007), transit operations moved from the main Miller Group yard at 505 Miller
Avenue (east of Woodbine Avenue) to the new facilities at nearby 8050 Woodbine Avenue at Burncrest Road.
This set of York Region Transit (Markham Division) mylar rollsigns were received
in mint condition, having never been installed in a bus. They are both dated May
27, 2002 and each has 31 exposures. These signs were the first version rollsigns
printed for YRT's Markham Division. Their respective sign tags are shown below.

This York Region Transit (Markham Division) jumbo mylar rollsign is part of the same set as
the two to the left. Unlike those, and because there were no buses that operated in Richmond
Hill, this rollsign only has routes from Markham on it. This rollsign is dated April 8, 2004 like
the two to the left, but this one only has 38 exposures. Its sign tag is shown below.
