The federal and provincial governments, along with the Towns of Cobourg and Port Hope, are investing in public transit.
In Cobourg, an investment of almost $1.2 million will fund three new gasoline buses with contactless payment hardware, the first of which is already in service. Funding will also be used to construct a transit operations office and add accessibility upgrades to 10 bus stops in the Town. In Port Hope, an investment of over $560,000 has funded the replacement of three conventional transit vehicles that had reached the end of their service life.
These investments will improve the reliability, accessibility, and overall quality of transit services for residents, making it easier for people to get where they need to go while supporting more sustainable and efficient transportation options.
