Building on the first phase of permanent transit programming, announced in February 2021, the expanded parameters of the CPTF will continue the federal government’s commitment to improve the quality of life of Canadians by creating jobs and economic growth, supporting climate resilience, and building a stronger and more inclusive Canada.
