History
- June 27, 2016 - Regional council and the Transit Executive Committee approved this route and many other service changes to be implemented. Service on Harwood Avenue previously was provided by route 224 Harwood and service on Pickering Beach was provided by the old routing of Route 218 Beach. There was no service on Salem Road between Bayly Street and Mandrake Street. Due to growing demand on Salem Road and Pickering Beach Road, route 224 was created to provide service as an individual service would fall below ridership standards.
- September 4th 2017 - Route 224 was added to the Durham Region Transit High Frequency Network and was given 30 minute minimum frequencies seven days a week until 19:00.
