Today, Minister of Infrastructure & Communities Catherine McKenna announced a $2.75 billion fund for electric bus infrastructure over the next five years. Funding will be provided through Infrastructure Canada to support the purchase of zero-emission public transit and school buses and can be accessed as early as 2021.

Today’s announcement is in addition to the $1.5 billion in low-cost financing made available for electric buses and charging infrastructure via the Canada Infrastructure Bank announced in October 2020.

The $2.7-billion fund for electric bus infrastructure will come from a plan to spend $5.9-billion over five years on transit-related projects. That fund was announced in February, along with an announcement to create a dedicated public-transit transfer to municipalities worth $3-billion a year, starting in 2026.

Protéger votre projet contre les aléas électoraux en 2026

Les élections municipales de 2026 en Ontario se dérouleront sur un terrain connu, mais plus exigeant : le logement, l’abordabilité et les infrastructures locales qui rendent la croissance viable. Les maires, les conseillers et le personnel municipal subissent une pression accrue pour démontrer des progrès concrets, au-delà des simples débats. Pour les promoteurs, les institutions et les grands acteurs qui font avancer des projets à l’échelle municipale, cela signifie une chose : si votre travail est visible, il sera politique.
