Today, the Honourable Randy Boissonnault, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Official Languages, and His Worship Blaine Hyggen, Mayor of Lethbridge, announced a joint investment of $134,813 to support planning work for the full transition of the city's transit fleet to zero emission buses.
This investment in the creation of an Implementation Roadmap will help the community reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the future while providing an affordable way for residents to get to where they need to go. The study will assess benefits, risks and constraints associated with the transition to a zero emission fleet and help build modern, reliable public transportation services for the residents of Lethbridge.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
