Two communities will strengthen rural transit services in British Columbia after an investment of $894,196 from the federal government.
The Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District will use this funding to install new bus stops and shelters to support their public transit service, which connects Ucluelet, Tofino, and several First Nation communities on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
Additionally in the Semiahmoo First Nation, funding will go towards purchasing a new mini-bus to provide transit services to essential services and cultural activities for community members.
Projects like these are vital to providing residents in rural communities with the ability and independence to connect to their day-to-day activities and important local services.
