By working closely with its partners across Canada, the federal government is ensuring that more Canadians will be able to live near public transit, connecting them to jobs, services, and their communities.
Today, the Honourable Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities, the Honourable Kamal Khera, Minister of Diversity, Inclusion and Persons with Disabilities and Member of Parliament for Brampton West, and Patrick Brown, Mayor of Brampton announced a federal investment of more than $106 million in transit funding for the City of Brampton, providing predictable and long-term funding.
Through the new Canada Public Transit Fund's Baseline Funding stream, the City of Brampton's transit authority, Brampton Transit, will receive an annual funding allocation amounting to over $106 million over 10 years. Funding will upgrade, replace, or modernize the City's public transit infrastructure, and maintain it in a state of good repair.
This investment, beginning in 2026 until 2036, will help increase the housing supply and affordability as part of complete, transit-oriented communities, while helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
