Canada launches funding for zero-emission transit transition

The Canadian government has announced a call for proposals under the Zero-Emission Transit Fund to accelerate the transition to clean public transportation. The initiative aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change impacts while creating cleaner, quieter communities.

Up to 15 million dollars is available to support planning and advisory services. The program seeks to select non-profit organizations or post-secondary institutions to provide expertise to municipalities and transit agencies across Canada. These selected entities will assist in the deployment of zero-emission buses and necessary infrastructure. Applications for the fund can be submitted between October 29, 2026, and January 14, 2027.
