Seven rural communities will receive funding for transit plans, feasibility studies, and assessments after an investment of $350,000 from the federal government.
In Fraser Valley, the community will use funding to conduct a transit assessment to identify rural transportation needs, gaps, and potential solutions to support the future of transit within the region and neighbouring First Nation communities.
The Comox Valley Regional District is receiving funding to undertake a transportation study as part of the Saratoga Beach Local Area Plan with the goal of understanding current transit patterns, needs, potential solutions, and viability.
Additional transit assessments, feasibility studies, and community engagement activities will be funded through this investment in the City of Dawson Creek, the District of Fort St. James, the Village of Telkwa, as well as the First Nations of Seabird Island Indian Band, and Skowkale First Nation.
