A couple local municipalities are getting support for transit.
Premier Doug Ford's announced up to $505-million for 107 municipalities across the province through Phase 4 of the federal-provincial Safe Restart Agreement, to help municipal transit systems address costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic between the start of February this year and the end of the year - the funds could be used to cover revenue losses, operating expenses, or provincial transit priority projects like fare and service integration and On-Demand transit.
Locally, Wawa's been allocated up to $5000 while Chapleau's allocated up to $7176 - Elliot Lake's set to get over $100,000, Sault Ste. Marie over $813,000, Timmins more than $233,000, Greater Sudbury over $1.2-million, and Thunder Bay more than $871,000.
