The money would go toward transit lines in the northern part of Winnipeg as well as the Waverley West area.
Municipal Relations Minister Andrew Smith says expanding services would encourage more people to use transit and help grow the city’s population.
Manitobans have until Saturday to vote in advance polls.
The election is on Oct. 3.
