Hot New Programs

The Strategic Transportation Infrastructure Program (STIP) is a flagship initiative by the Alberta government aimed at supporting strategic projects that enhance the transportation infrastructure across the province. This program provides substantial financial assistance to eligible projects, spanning a diverse range of transportation-related endeavors such as road and bridge construction, public transit enhancements, and active transportation infrastructure. STIP is designed to foster economic growth, improve safety, and contribute to the overall sustainability of Alberta's transportation network.

The Rural Transit Solutions Fund seeks to help Canadians living in rural and remote areas get around their communities more easily for their day-to-day activities, and connect with other communities nearby.

People living in rural, remote, Northern, and Indigenous communities often depend on private vehicles for transportation and often lack access to transit options. Additionally, people without access to private vehicles or who are unable to drive are isolated from essential services or are unable to travel with ease within their own community or to visit nearby communities.

The Rural Transit Solutions Fund is the first federal fund to target the development of transit solutions in rural and remote communities. Launched in 2021, the Fund provides $250 million in federal funding over 5 years to support the development of locally-driven transit solutions that will help people living in rural communities get to work, school, appointments, and to visit loved ones.
