The Government of Canada is investing over $35 million through the Canada Public Transit Fund to provide long-term predictable funding for public transit in the Regional Municipality of Niagara. This investment will support the region’s efforts to improve the efficiency, reliability, and accessibility of its public transit system.
“Public transit is essential for connecting people to jobs, education, and essential services,” said Vance Badawey, Member of Parliament for Niagara Centre. “This investment from the Government of Canada will help the Regional Municipality of Niagara build a modern, sustainable public transit system that meets the needs of its growing population.”
The funding will be used to support a variety of public transit projects in the Niagara region, including:
- Upgrading bus stops and shelters
- Purchasing new buses
- Improving transit infrastructure
- Expanding transit service to new areas
“This investment is a significant step forward in our efforts to build a world-class public transit system in Niagara,” said Jim Bradley, Mayor of the Regional Municipality of Niagara. “This funding will allow us to make much-needed improvements to our transit system, making it more convenient and accessible for residents and visitors alike.”
The Canada Public Transit Fund is a $4 billion investment over five years to support public transit projects across Canada. The fund is designed to provide long-term predictable funding for public transit systems, helping them to plan and implement projects that will improve the quality of life for Canadians.
“Public transit is a key part of Canada’s transportation system, and it plays a vital role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” said the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities. “This investment in the Regional Municipality of Niagara will help to create a more sustainable and prosperous community for all.”
