The Canada Public Transit Fund (CPTF) provides an opportunity to drive impacts by adopting a new and ambitious approach to transit funding: Metro-Region Agreements.
A Metro-Region Agreement (MRA) offers a new way for the Government of Canada, provinces, municipalities and other key partners, such as transit agencies and Indigenous communities to collaborate together. These agreements will encourage long-term integrated planning within large urban areas and will support a wide variety of projects, from transformational investments that build new subways and dedicated bus lines, to maintaining and sustaining the health of an existing transit system.
