Ontario Investing in Transportation for Rural Communities
- No matter where you live, Ontario families deserve reliable public transportation to access employment, visit friends and family and maintain healthy, independent lifestyles.
- The OTIF will help municipalities, Indigenous communities and non-profit organizations deliver transit services in unserved and underserved parts of the province, particularly in rural communities.
- It will support local and inter-community transportation projects like bus service, on-demand shared rides and door-to-door transportation.
- Applications for OTIF are now open and will be accepted on an ongoing basis, with programs expected to begin in 2025.
- The Ontario Transit Investment Fund is another targeted step our government is taking to make life easier for people living in the north, rural areas, or other communities with limited transportation options.
