The Ford government is promising $1.6 billion for municipalities including funding for transit.
Associate Transport Minister Kinga Surma explains that includes $660 million to support transit systems in communities across the province.
“Ontario’s public transit systems are critical to supporting the economy and getting people where they need to go as the province gradually reopens,” said Associate Minister Surma.
Surma adds, as part of the Safe Restart Agreement with the federal government, up to $2 billion is being provided to support public transit in Ontario.
The government is also providing an additional $212 million through the Social Services Relief Fund to help vulnerable people find shelter.
