Today, Bobby Morrissey, Member of Parliament for Egmont, the Honourable Ernie Hudson, Minister of Health and Wellness and Member of the Legislative Assembly for Alberton-Bloomfield, and Sherry Tremblay, Manager of Transportation West Inc., announced more than $735,000 in joint funding for an upgraded vehicle fleet for Transportation West Inc., a non-profit community organization offering affordable transportation services for those in need in the West Prince region of PEI.
This funding will support the purchase of five fuel-efficient vehicles: one seven-passenger van, two 10-passenger vans, and two 14-passenger vans. Work will also include equipping the vehicles with wheelchair accessible ramps. These upgrades align with Transportation West Inc.'s long-term goals of transitioning to a fully electric fleet to help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and providing a sustainable transportation option for Islanders in need.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, increasing the resiliency of our communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
