Providing effective public transit solutions to Canadians living in rural and remote locations enhances productivity and helps make their communities stronger. Through the Rural Transit Solutions Fund (RTSF), the Government of Canada is supporting communities across the country to meet their unique transit needs. The federal government and the County of Simcoe are investing more than $4.8 million combined towards improved public transit.
County of Simcoe will use this funding to purchase four new buses and solar-powered lights with supporting infrastructure to improve and expand its LINX public transit service. The LINX transit system provides local and regional transit services across the county. This investment will modernize rider experience, enhance safety, and ensure that more people can comfortably and affordably take local public transit.
