Ontario is stepping up to help support public transit in our region.
Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP Steve Clark says close to $123,000 in gas tax funding will go to the River Route Bus Program in Prescott, Augusta Township and Edwardsburgh Cardinal.
The system operates between Brockville and Cardinal along County Road 2.
The funding can be used to expand service hours, increase routes, purchase new vehicles and improve accessibility to increase transit ridership.
The 2024-25 Gas Tax program is supporting public transit systems in 106 municipalities, representing 93 per cent of all Ontarians.
