Support for Public and Active Transportation
July 7, 2020
Today, I was delighted to join Mayor Drew Dilkens, Gary McNamara and MPP Rick Nicholls to announce $12.6 million in federal funding for 10 projects worth $48 million that will help modernize our public transit and active transportation systems.

The strategic investments in public transportation infrastructure play a key role in supporting affordable and sustainable transportation services that allow Ontarians to get to work, school and essential services on time, and safely back home at the end of the day.

In Windsor, the purchase of 19 buses will allow the city to replace 16 buses that have exceeded their useful life, while expanding the fleet’s capacity by 3 buses to meet system needs. Additionally, the construction and rehabilitation of sidewalks, pathways and bike lanes throughout the city will make it safer and easier for pedestrians and cyclists to commute to their destinations or to directly access public transit.

In Tecumseh, the construction of a new 3 kilometre multi-purpose pathway will link the Tecumseh Hamlet to the Tecumseh Transit Service, providing residents with easier access to public transit.

Together, these investments will make it easier for residents to get around their community safely while facilitating active transportation.
