Dec 15, 2017 Hamilton Spectator
Hamilton and the federal government are spending $400,000 to buy eight new city transit vehicles.
The funding was announced this week under the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund.
The federal government and the city are each providing up to $200,000 for the project, according to a news release from Infrastructure Canada.
The new transit vehicles include some for supervisors, as well as accessibility vans and driver shuttle vehicles.
The intention is to increase the efficiency and reliability of the transit system for riders.
"Improving our transit system continues to be a key priority for the City of Hamilton," Mayor Fred Eisenberger said in a statement.
The government of Canada is investing $25.3 billion to support public transit projects across the country.
