Mn Thn, Alberta, February 14, 2025 - Six rural communities across Alberta will see improvements to local public transit services, after an investment of more than $3.4 million from the federal government.
In Stoney Nakoda Nation territory, funding will support the purchase of new transit assets to expand public transit capacities and connect residents to nearby hubs, such as Cochrane, Mn Thn, and the Bow Valley Corridor. The project will also result in new-demand transit service and the installation of bus stops, signage and other transit infrastructure.
Funding to the Bearspaw First Nation will support the purchase three vehicles to address transit service gaps in the Eden Valley, and further help provide members of the Stoney Nakoda Nation with safe and reliable transit options to get to their destinations.
Additional projects will focus on purchasing vehicles, including standard, mini, and electric buses to support both on-demand and fixed route public transit services in rural communities across the province.
Expanding public transit service is essential to helping residents, including vulnerable populations, access community services, such as childcare, healthcare, and other everyday essentials.
