The Town of Tillsonburg is among the 40 communities who are receiving help through the Community Transportation Grant Program.

TILLSONBURG - The provincial government is making it easier for people to travel in their community. 

Oxford MPP Ernie Hardeman made the announcement on January 25th that the Town of Tillsonburg will receive $1,457,732 of support through the Community Transportation Grant Program.

Hardeman says the investment will help make travelling easier for residents.

"This investment will improve the quality of life for many people in our communities that are currently undeserved by transit. Whether it’s seniors, students or others, access to transit helps people get where they need to be and live active, independent lives."

Tillsonburg is among the 40 communities across Ontario who will receive help to improve their transportation services, making it easier for people to get around.

Through the program, nearly $30 million dollars over five years will be awarded to municipalities community organizations, health agencies, transit agencies, school-bus and private transportation operators, to coordinate local transportation services and/or run intercommunity routes.

The program makes travelling more convenient for Ontarians, including senior citizens and people with disability to access essential services in their communities.
