Belleville Boosts Public Transit Funding

Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada

Through six projects, Belleville is upgrading its public transit services after a combined investment of over $12 million from the federal, provincial, and municipal governments.

Belleville Transit is acquiring four 12-metre hybrid buses, a seven-metre conventional bus, and two fully accessible hybrid vans that can also serve as emergency mobility transport vehicles. Additionally, the City will build a multi-use path in the Hydro One transmission corridor and improve access to bus stops, with 1.5 kilometres of new sidewalk to support commuters. They will also upgrade existing fareboxes to support more convenient payment options, improve bus security, and increase accessibility at 10 bus stops.
