Today, Member of Parliament Adam Van Koeverden, alongside Mayor Gordon Krantz, announced over $7.2 million in funding for the Town of Milton's public transit infrastructure through the Baseline Funding stream of the Canada Public Transit Fund (CPTF).
This funding, which will be delivered over 10 years from 2026 until 2036, will help advance key improvements to Milton's public transit system. Providing predictable funding will help the Town with long-term planning, and enable them to upgrade, replace, or modernize current public transit and active transportation infrastructure. Ridership on public transit in Milton continues to grow rapidly. Baseline funding is conditional on the Town of Milton submitting a capital plan, and the subsequent signing of a funding agreement.
The Canada Public Transit Fund is the largest public transit investment in Canadian history. It is designed to meet the unique needs of communities of all sizes, from large metropolitan areas, to mid-size and smaller communities, including rural, remote, northern and Indigenous communities. The Fund will deliver stable funding for municipalities and transit agencies with the resources they need to plan and implement key public transit projects that will meet their needs for decades to come.
