Grants and Contributions:
The expected results of the Canada Public Transit Fund are increased use of public transit and active transportation relative to personal vehicles; improved access to clean, affordable, reliable and inclusive mobility options; increased housing supply and affordability through the development of complete, transit-oriented communities; and enhanced climate resilience and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. These results are expected to contribute to economic growth and prosperity, environmental sustainability, improved access to services and opportunities, and stronger and more inclusive communities.
The Canada Public Transit Fund provides stable, predictable and responsive funding for public transit and active transportation infrastructure in communities of all sizes across Canada. The Fund aims to increase the use of public transit and active transportation relative to car travel, improve transportation options for all, particularly Indigenous Peoples and equity-deserving groups, increase housing supply and affordability in complete, transit-oriented communities, and support climate change mitigation and resilience. Through the CPTF, HICC works with all levels of government, Indigenous partners and other stakeholders to support modern, accessible, reliable and sustainable public transit and active transportation infrastructure.
