$1 million from gas tax to fund active transportation in rural Manitoba

The province and federal government announced that $1 million from the federal gas tax fund will be provided to fund active transportation. Communities with populations of fewer than 50,000 people are eligible to apply to cost-share active transportation projects with the government over the next two years, up to a maximum of $50,000 per project. Eligible projects could include bike racks or lockers, bike paths, sidewalks and other pedestrian paths.

The province is also launching an active transportation website at www.gov.mb.ca/ia/index.html.
