CBC – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced plans Wednesday to spend $14.9 billion over the next eight years on public transportation projects across the country.
Part of that funding will go toward a permanent transit fund of $3 billion per year starting in 2026. “We need efficient and modern public transit systems that make our communities more connected,” Trudeau said at a virtual announcement.
“While these investments are good for the economy and crucial to our recovery from this global crisis, they’re also helping us achieve our climate goals.”
