Public transit keeps communities connected, supports the growth of local economies and provides affordable, reliable access to jobs, services and opportunities.
Today, Dominique O'Rourke, Member of Parliament for Guelph, and Tara Baker, Chief Administrative Officer for the City of Guelph, announced an important milestone in advancing local public transit in the City of Guelph by allocating part of its 10-year allocation through the Canada Public Transit Fund (CPTF) toward the purchase of two on-route electric bus charging systems. This project is part of the already announced funding commitment of approximately $15.7 million under the Baseline Funding stream of the CPTF.
This project will support the City's transition to electric buses, helping to reduce carbon emissions. There will be many upcoming milestones in Guelph to ensure continual growth, rehabilitation, and replacement of public transit and active transportation infrastructure.
