Published purpose

The overall goal of the proposed rural transit solution is to address the needs of First Nation communities in Northern Ontario. The initial phase is to improve existing services and add new sustainable services for nine First Nation communities. There is interest to support the advancement of social, environmental, and economic reconciliation by providing opportunities to First Nations to a fair and equal participation in the economy. This is even more supported by the sector demand for job seekers and the urgency to develop and push the green agenda. This can be achieved by various means, including by buses, that are less polluting than individual cars.
