Metro-Region Agreements – Canada Public Transit Fund

none

Value

Varies.

Description

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.

Eligible Applicants

The eligibility requirements for MRAs include:

  • All participating organizations must be located within, be adjacent to, or be responsible for planning and infrastructure within a Census Metropolitan Area (or within a region spanning multiple Census Metropolitan Areas close to one another), as identified by Statistics Canada.
  • Participating organizations must include the respective provincial government(s) for the region.

Partner organizations seeking to enter into a Metro-Region Agreement would need to:

  1. Demonstrate their ability to meet a specific set of minimum federal housing conditions that are based on best practices from the Housing Accelerator Fund; and
  2. Prepare an Integrated Regional Plan that outlines how capital investments supported by policy actions will achieve core objectives for Canada Public Transit Fund.

Eligible Expenses

Metro-Region Agreements offer predictable funding in regions with the highest demand for public transit and active transportation funding, and where travel patterns often cross municipal boundaries. This funding stream is designed to promote coordination among all levels of government, encourage evidence-based decision-making, and advance a shared understanding of investment priorities among signatories.
