Stonewall, Manitoba, March 18, 2025 - Increased transit services, improved accessible public transit, and expanded door-to-door electric vehicle transportation are coming to Manitoba thanks to a federal investment of over $3.9 million.

Funding will support the purchase of two electric buses, six charging platforms, 12 chargers, and garage upgrades in the Interlake region. These investments will enhance door-to-door transportation services for seniors and individuals with mobility challenges, improving accessibility and service reliability.

Teulon, Rockwood, and Woodlands will also benefit from funding to purchase a new mini-bus and an accessible van to replace aging vehicles. These upgrades will ensure the continued delivery of safe and reliable transit services, while enhancing accessibility and sustainability in the region.
