The Alberta’s government announced $1.7 million in funding to expand low-income transit programs in six new communities across the province.
10 Alberta communities now have low-income transit passes, in addition to Edmonton and Calgary,
Low-income Albertans in Lethbridge, Camrose, Hinton, Leduc, Red Deer and Spruce Grove are now able to apply for the pass.
The new funding covers the municipality’s cost of subsidizing the low-income transit program, as well as an additional 10 per cent for administration costs.
Details on the passes will be shared directly with the municipalities.
