New public transit investments to build strong communities, fight climate change, and create new jobs across Canada

February 10, 2021
Ottawa, Ontario

Investing in public transit infrastructure shortens commute times for families, creates good middle class jobs, grows our economy, and cuts air pollution. Since 2015, the Government of Canada has invested more than $13 billion in 1,300 public transit projects for communities across Canada. This is the largest public transit investment in Canadian history, and as we build back better from the global COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to make these smart investments that support Canadians.

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced $14.9 billion for public transit projects over the next eight years, which includes permanent funding of $3 billion per year for Canadian communities beginning in 2026-27. This announcement provides cities and communities the predictable transit funding they need to plan for the future, and is part of our plan to create one million jobs, fight climate change, and rebuild a more sustainable and resilient economy. These investments will:

• Help Canadians move around easier and create new jobs by building major public transit projects, providing dedicated planning funding to accelerate future major projects, and supporting the expansion of large urban transit systems that many Canadians depend on every day.
• Reduce pollution and create jobs for Canadians by enhancing public transit systems and switching them to cleaner electrical power, including supporting the use of zero-emission vehicles and related infrastructure, complementing the work of the Canada Infrastructure Bank.
• Support healthy lifestyles in our communities and meet the growing demand for active transportation projects, including by building walkways and paths for cycling, walking, scooters, e-bikes, and wheelchairs.
• Help Canadians living in rural and remote areas travel to and from work more easily and access essential services, by working with rural, remote, and Indigenous communities to identify and create transit solutions that meet their needs.
• Support our cities and communities by making a permanent and stable federal commitment to funding public transit, and facilitate partnerships between all orders of government, Indigenous communities, transit agencies, and other stakeholders to develop an approach to permanent public transit funding in a manner that offers the greatest benefits to Canadians.

Investing in public transit infrastructure will build strong communities across the country and deliver a better quality of life for all Canadians. The government will continue to invest in projects that best support our recovery, create middle class jobs and economic growth, and help us reach our climate targets. Together, we can create a Canada that is cleaner, more competitive, and more resilient for generations to come.

Quotes

“When we invest in public transit infrastructure, we are supporting good middle class jobs, creating better commutes, fighting climate change, and helping make life easier and more affordable for Canadians. We will continue to do what it takes to ensure our economic recovery from COVID-19 and build back a more resilient country for everyone.”

The Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada

“As we build back better, it is time to ambitiously invest in modern and sustainable public transit across our country, to reduce congestion, to help create a million jobs, and to support cleaner and more inclusive communities. Permanent, long-term funding for public transit will mean new subway lines, light-rail transit and streetcars, electric buses, cycling paths and improved rural transit. It will mean that Canadians can get around in faster, cleaner, and more affordable ways. And it will help drive us to net-zero emissions and ensure a more sustainable future for our kids.”

The Hon. Catherine McKenna, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities

 “Our government is committed to investing in public transit in communities across the country. We are working in collaboration with municipal, provincial and territorial governments to support Canadians in building a strong economy and clean environment.”

The Hon. Dominic LeBlanc, President of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs

“Investing in cleaner and more affordable modes of transportation is an important part of Canada’s strengthened climate plan – one that means we will exceed our 2030 target and that will put us on a path to get to net-zero emissions by 2050. Transportation accounts for one-quarter of Canada’s emissions and represents an area that is in need of smart climate investments, like the ones that we have announced today, to support good Canadian jobs, a stronger economy, and a healthier planet.”

The Hon. Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Environment and Climate Change

Quick Facts

• Since 2015, the Government of Canada has spent over $13 billion in more than 1,300 public transit projects across Canada. These investments have helped build more than 240 kilometres of new public transit subway and light rail line, purchase over 300 zero-emission buses, and create almost 500 kilometres of active transportation trails, bike and pedestrian lanes, and recreational paths.
• Through the Investing in Canada Plan, the Government of Canada is already investing $28.7 billion to support public transit projects, including $5 billion available for investment through the Canada Infrastructure Bank.
• In October, as part of the Canada Infrastructure Bank’s three-year, $10 billion Growth Plan, the government announced that $1.5 billion of the available funding will be used to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission buses and charging infrastructure so Canadians can have cleaner commutes.
• Canada’s strengthened climate plan committed to provide permanent public transit funding. The plan encourages cleaner modes of transportation, such as low and zero-emission vehicles, transit, and active transportation, to make communities healthier, less congested, and more vibrant.
• In July 2020, the Government of Canada announced the Safe Restart Agreement, a federal investment of over $19 billion to help provinces and territories restart their economies while protecting the health of Canadians. The investment included a contribution of up to $2 billion to support municipalities with COVID-19 operating costs for six to eight months, and a commitment to cost-match more than $2.3 billion to support any additional provincial or territorial contributions for public transit.

Nouveaux investissements dans le transport en commun pour bâtir des communautés fortes, lutter contre les changements climatiques et créer de nouveaux emplois à travers le Canada

Le 10 février 2021
Ottawa (Ontario)

Les investissements dans les infrastructures de transport en commun permettent de réduire la durée des déplacements des familles et de créer de bons emplois pour la classe moyenne. De plus, ils favorisent la croissance de notre économie et la réduction de la pollution de l’air. Depuis 2015, le gouvernement du Canada a accordé plus de 13 milliards de dollars à 1 300 projets de transport en commun dans des communautés d’un bout à l’autre du pays. C’est le plus vaste investissement dans le transport en commun de l’histoire canadienne. En rebâtissant en mieux après la pandémie mondiale de COVID-19, nous continuerons de faire ces investissements judicieux pour soutenir les Canadiens.

Aujourd’hui, le premier ministre Justin Trudeau a annoncé l’octroi de 14,9 milliards de dollars dans des projets de transport en commun au cours des huit prochaines années. Ceci comprend un financement permanent de 3 milliards de dollars par année qui sera accordé aux communautés canadiennes à compter de 2026-2027. Cette initiative procure aux villes et aux communautés les fonds prévisibles destinés au transport en commun qui leur sont nécessaires pour planifier l’avenir. Elle s’inscrit dans notre plan visant à créer un million d’emplois, à lutter contre les changements climatiques et à rebâtir une économie plus durable et plus résiliente. Ces investissements permettront d’atteindre les objectifs suivants :

• Faciliter les déplacements des Canadiens et créer de nouveaux emplois en réalisant de grands projets de transport en commun, en accordant un financement de planification spécifique pour accélérer les futurs grands projets et en appuyant le prolongement de grands réseaux de transport en commun urbains dont dépendent tous les jours de nombreux Canadiens.
• Réduire la pollution et créer des emplois pour les Canadiens en améliorant les réseaux de transport en commun et en les convertissant à l’énergie électrique propre, notamment en encourageant l’usage de véhicules carboneutres et la mise en place de l’infrastructure qui s’y rattache. Ceci complète le travail de la Banque de l’infrastructure du Canada.
• Favoriser les modes de vie sains dans nos communautés et répondre à la demande croissante de projets de transport actifs, notamment en construisant des passerelles, des pistes cyclables ainsi que des pistes pour la marche, les scooters, les vélos électriques et les fauteuils roulants.
• Aider les Canadiens qui vivent en zone rurale et éloignée à se rendre au travail plus facilement et à avoir accès aux services essentiels, en travaillant avec les communautés rurales, éloignées et autochtones en vue de trouver et d’élaborer des solutions de transport en commun adaptées à leurs besoins.
• Soutenir nos villes et nos communautés grâce à un engagement permanent et stable du gouvernement fédéral visant le financement du transport en commun. Ces investissements faciliteront aussi l’établissement de partenariats entre tous les ordres de gouvernement, les communautés autochtones, les sociétés de transport en commun et d’autres intervenants pour concevoir une approche à l’égard du financement permanent du transport en commun qui sera la plus profitable pour les Canadiens.

Les investissements dans les infrastructures de transport en commun permettront de bâtir des communautés solides à travers le pays et d’améliorer la qualité de vie de tous les Canadiens. Le gouvernement continuera d’investir dans les projets les plus susceptibles d’appuyer notre relance, de créer des emplois pour la classe moyenne, de stimuler la croissance économique et de nous aider à atteindre nos cibles climatiques. Ensemble, nous pouvons créer un Canada plus propre, plus compétitif et plus résilient pour les générations à venir.

Citations

« En investissant dans les infrastructures de transport en commun, nous soutenons de bons emplois pour la classe moyenne, améliorons les déplacements, luttons contre les changements climatiques et contribuons à rendre la vie des Canadiens plus facile et plus abordable. Nous continuerons à faire ce qu’il faut pour assurer la relance de notre économie après la COVID-19 et rebâtir un pays plus résilient pour tout le monde. »

Le très hon. Justin Trudeau, premier ministre du Canada

« Alors que nous travaillons à rebâtir en mieux, le moment est venu d’effectuer des investissements ambitieux dans des services de transport en commun modernes et durables à travers le pays, afin de réduire la congestion, de contribuer à la création d'un million d'emplois et de soutenir des communautés plus propres et plus inclusives. Le financement permanent à long terme des services de transport en commun permettra de construire de nouvelles lignes de métro, des trains légers sur rail et des tramways, des autobus électriques et des pistes cyclables. Il contribuera également à améliorer les réseaux de transport en milieu rural. Les Canadiens pourront ainsi se déplacer plus rapidement et de façon plus propre et plus abordable. Enfin, ce financement nous aidera à atteindre la carboneutralité et à assurer un avenir plus durable à nos enfants. »

L’hon. Catherine McKenna, ministre de l’Infrastructure et des Collectivités

« Notre gouvernement est résolu à investir dans le transport en commun à travers les communautés du pays. Nous agissons en collaboration avec les administrations municipales et les gouvernements provinciaux et territoriaux afin d’aider les Canadiens à bâtir une économie solide et à créer un environnement propre. »

L’hon. Dominic LeBlanc, président du Conseil privé de la Reine pour le Canada et ministre des Affaires intergouvernementales

« Investir dans des modes de transport plus propres et plus abordables fait partie intégrante du plan climatique renforcé du Canada, lequel nous permettra de dépasser notre objectif pour 2030 et d’atteindre la carboneutralité d'ici 2050. Le secteur des transports est à l’origine d’un quart des émissions au Canada. Il faut y effectuer des investissements judicieux dans la lutte contre les changements climatiques, comme ceux que nous avons annoncés aujourd'hui, pour soutenir de bons emplois canadiens, une économie plus forte et une planète plus saine. »

L’hon. Jonathan Wilkinson, ministre de l’Environnement et du Changement climatique
