Today, Tim Louis, Member of Parliament for Kitchener-Conestoga, and His Worship Martin Ritsma, Mayor of Stratford, announced a federal investment of $96,000 to support Stratford in planning for the transition of its transit fleet to zero-emission buses.
This investment will enable the City of Stratford to conduct a feasibility study that will assist with the transition to electric buses. This work will result in a comprehensive report that will inform the City's procurement process and identify first steps for transitioning to a zero emission bus fleet, ensuring that public transit continues to serve residents while minimizing its environmental impact. Residents and visitors alike will benefit from a public transit system that that fosters a greener, more sustainable community.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
