Ontario— A federal investment of $160,000 to the Town of Blind River, through the Rural Transit Solutions Fund, will support the purchase of a new bus. This investment will improve the town’s public transit, a crucial service for residents in the rural community who rely on the bus to access essential resources and services. It will provide consistent and dependable transportation for those without access to private transit, offering greater independence and convenience. This support not only strengthens the community’s infrastructure but also ensures that residents, regardless of circumstance, can access the basic services they need to thrive.
“Our government believes in public transit. So many people depend on quality transit to get to where they need to go on time and this funding will make a difference for transit users in Blind River.” – Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities
