Federal, Ontario Liberals to sign $1.49B transit funding agreement
The federal treasury is set to crack open its coffers and begin distributing $1.49 billion worth of transit funding among cities in Ontario for track upgrades, new buses, shelters and upgrades to stations.
The details being announced Tuesday will outline $688 million worth of projects in five Ontario cities that are lined up to be the first recipients of the dedicated transit funding.
The federal funds can be used against up to half the costs of eligible projects; the funding is retroactive to April 1 to cover any costs cities and provinces have incurred since then.
About $500 million of the projects being announced Tuesday will be in Toronto, with Ottawa next on the list at $156 million.
