What it does

This program includes the following two transfer payment programs: 1) The Clean Water and Wastewater Fund, to address these substantial needs for improvements in potable water, wastewater, and storm water infrastructure. The program is intended to benefit provinces and municipalities by injecting much needed infrastructure funding to allow for capital improvements and planning and design of new systems. 2) The Public Transit Infrastructure Fund, primarily towards initiatives that will support the rehabilitation of provincially/territorially or municipally owned/operated public transit systems; enhanced asset management; and system optimization and modernization.
