The province said the funding can only go towards public transit projects like upgrading infrastructure, buying vehicles, increasing accessibility, adding more routes or extending service.
Guelph received $2.9 million last year, which was used to replace its aging transit fleet.
“We are investing in public transit to make it a more convenient travel option and to attract more riders,” said Minister of Transportation Jeff Yurek.
“More public transit will cut through gridlock and get people moving.”
