Funding Announced For Transit Services

Transit Cape Breton is getting nearly $360,000 from the province to help offset fare revenue lost as people stayed home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The government announced a total of $10.9 million today to a total of 28 transit service providers throughout the province.

Victoria County Transit is getting $30,000. 

The money comes from a federal investment of $750 million to help municipalities across the country maintain transit service levels in the face of decreased ridership because of the pandemic.

To access the funding, provinces were required to match the federal transit money and also support improvements in housing supply.
