Today, Mike Kelloway, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard and Member of Parliament for Cape Breton–Canso, the Honourable Greg Morrow, Minister of Agriculture and Member of the Legislative Assembly for Guysborough–Tracadie, and Catherine Hartling, Chairperson of the Board for the Transit Association of Guysborough (TAG), announced a combined investment of more than $181,000 to support public transit in Guysborough County.
Through this investment, the Transit Association of Guysborough will purchase an electric vehicle, a hybrid wheelchair-accessible van and two charging stations. These investments will help the Transit Association of Guysborough meet the increased demand for their by-appointment, door-to-door and wheelchair-accessible transportation service.
This investment will provide residents—particularly seniors, students and individuals with disabilities—with affordable and accessible transportation options that will enable them to go to school or work, attend medical appointments and take part in other activities. For those riders who depend on the Transit Association of Guysborough, having these additional transit options will enhance their quality of life and provide many with greater independence and a sense of freedom.
