City of Lethbridge receiving over $8 million from Alberta Community Transit Fund for electric buses and charging system
CALGARY, AB – The provincial government has announced a total of 17 municipal transit systems will share $215 million from the new, launched in August 2018.
A release from the province states provincial transit grants for things like electric buses, light rail vehicles and a new LRT station will help make public transit a better choice for more Albertans.
Minister of Transportation Brian Mason says these transit projects will help Albertans get to where they need to go in a timely and cost-efficient way while helping to reduce pollution and ease congestion.
“We know folks would rather spend time with their family versus sitting in traffic. That’s why we are investing in new ways for Albertans to get to where they are going.”
