The province is dishing out $15 million to support safe, reliable transit services in rural communities with $9.4 million of it being given to Bruce, Grey and Dufferin counties.
The funding is coming from the Ontario Transit Investment Fund and will help drive economic growth and connect more people to jobs and housing.
MPP Lisa Thompson says whether its small business, attracting customers and employees, students getting to school or families, the investment in regional transit is helping rural communities remain vibrant and healthy places to live, work and do business.
“From the time I started serving as MPP for Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, I have heard just how important local transportation is,” said Vickers.
“I am very grateful to the government for making this $9.495-million investment in a coordinated transportation solution to connect residents to their communities and new opportunities. I want to thank Minister Sarkaria and his team for seeing the opportunity in this project.”
