Residents in East Hants will benefit from an increase in public transit services, after an investment of more than $130,000 from the federal and provincial governments.
Member of Parliament Kody Blois, MLA John A. MacDonald, and Executive Director for East Hants Learning Tanya Burke announced federal funding to purchase one electric vehicle, one hybrid vehicle and a dispatch software system to improve rural transportation service provided in East Hants. These investments will enable transit users to complete their day-to-day activities such as going to work, attending medical activities, participating in social activities and visiting loved ones.
The Rural Transit Solutions Fund complements Canada's strengthened climate plan: A Healthy Environment and a Healthy Economy. Through the plan the federal government has committed to providing federal funding for public transit in support of making clean and affordable transportation available in every community.
