Windsor — The City of Windsor is upgrading its transit system after a joint federal-provincial-municipal investment of more than $117 million. This was announced today by MP Irek Kusmierczyk, MPP Andrew Dowie, MPP Anthony Leardi, and Transit Windsor’s Executive Director, Tyson Cragg. These upgrades include improved bus stops and terminals, new technologies and a larger fleet. This investment will also help the city purchase new hybrid electric buses and phase out old diesel ones. Details about the projects the funding will support can be found in the attached backgrounder.
“Under the leadership of Premier Ford, Ontario is in the middle of the largest transit expansion in North America, as we ensure communities across our province have fast and reliable service for generations to come. This investment will bring better, more modern transit to Windsor, helping more workers and families get where they need to go when they need to get there.” – Prabmeet Sarkaria, Ontario Minister of Transportation
