Reliable transit keeps our communities moving, connecting people to work, school, health care and each other.
Today, Durham Region joined federal and provincial partners to announce support through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program for Durham Region Transit.
This summer, 10 new diesel buses will hit the road and investments in smarter tools will improve efficiency behind the scenes.
Building on 2023 funding, this is part of a bigger vision for transit including the Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit project, stronger local connections, expanded GO access, and new facilities to support a growing fleet.
Thank you to Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure, Jennifer McKelvie; Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks, The Honourable Todd McCarthy; MPP for Whitby Lorne Coe and Regional Chair and CEO John Henry, for speaking at today’s announcement, and to MP for Whitby Ryan Turnbull, Durham mayors, Regional Councillors and staff for joining us today.
We appreciate both the Federal and Provincial governments' shared commitment to building a modern, reliable transit system that meets today’s needs and prepares for tomorrow.
