Five communities across Ontario will receive a combined federal investment of over $310,000 for active and rural transit projects.
Investments in the Townships of South Glengarry and Warwick are supporting active transportation plans and feasibility studies. The Townships will develop detailed plans on the future of walking, biking, and non-motorized vehicle routes in their communities. The plans will also include strategies to promote and raise awareness of the benefits of getting around while staying active.
The investment in the Town of Whitby will help them reach more people with their Bike Month, an annual initiative in June, to get community members out on bikes, learn new skills, and have fun.
The investment in King Township provides funds for pavement markings and signage for pedestrians and cyclists en route to King City GO Station. Safety measures will also be installed to ensure pedestrians can safely cross Keele Street, inclusive of a new traffic signal, warning signs, and pavement markings.
Finally, the investment for Bruce County will map the demand and need for a public transit system in the County. The results of the needs and feasibility study will guide short, medium, and long-term actions to grow transit options.
