Transit services in the Annapolis Valley will improve following an investment of $10 million from the federal and provincial governments.
This was announced by the Honourable Kody Blois, the Honourable John Lohr, and His Worship Dave Corkum.
This project will improve rural transit service in the counties of Kings, Annapolis, and Digby, as well as surrounding communities, by replacing six aging buses with five new conventional buses and one new electric bus. Tidal Transit Authority will also install three charging stations and upgrade their maintenance facility.
Tidal Transit serves eight rural municipalities across the western region of Nova Scotia from Weymouth to Grand Pré. This investment will improve transit service and reliability, and support vulnerable populations by providing better access to employment, healthcare, education, and social services.
