City Receives Gas Tax Allocation

Thunder Bay is set to receive some money through the provincial Gas Tax program.

The money can be used to improve public transit and handi-transit services.

The city is getting about $2.3 million dollars as part of the allocation.

Funding for the Gas Tax program is determined by the number of litres of gasoline sold in the province during the previous year.

Municipalities supporting public transit services in their community receive two cents per litre of provincial gas tax revenue collected.

Here is the breakdown of how much municipalities in Northwestern Ontario received in gas tax funding:

Kenora: $143,366

Fort Frances: $72,298

Sioux Lookout: $51,219

Dryden: $42,005

Atikokan: $9,317

Machin: $8,984
