The City of Pembroke will receive $103,817 to support the expansion of public transit services.
Renfrew will get $249,782 as part of the province’s Gas Tax program.
Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski says supporting public transit systems is more important than ever as communities struggle to maintain service levels during COVID-19.
Funding for the Gas Tax program is determined by the number of litres of gasoline sold in the province during the previous year.
Municipalities that support public transit services in their community receive two cents per litre of provincial Gas Tax revenue, which can be used to extend service hours, buy transit vehicles, add routes, improve accessibility or upgrade infrastructure.
