Ontario communities will receive funding to develop, upgrade, and expand their public transit services following a federal investment of more than $1.2 million from the Rural Transit Solutions Fund (RTSF).
These investments will help communities across Ontario to modernize and expand local transit services by strengthening service reliability, accessibility, and the overall user experience. Planned improvements include purchasing new vehicles, including accessible vehicles, transit shelters, upgraded scheduling technologies, and the enhancement of on-demand transit services. In some communities, funding will support feasibility studies to better understand and improve current transit service and identify opportunities to establish new transit services.
By strengthening public transit, these investments will help connect residents to local businesses, workplaces, schools, healthcare services, and enable residents to complete their day-to-day activities.
