Hi Friend,
We need to change the way Canadians commute. Sitting in traffic, waiting for a late bus or trying to cycle through car-centric cities is wasteful (and often dangerous).
It doesn’t have to be this way. We can build cities for people, not cars. We can improve our public infrastructure through better public transit. We can invest in high-speed and affordable trains. We can revive Via Rail and connect rural communities.
There’s a Green plan for that.
As Elizabeth May announced this morning, Greens are committed to affordable and convenient public transit.
To ensure Canada improves its mobility, a Green government will:
- Connect Canada by electric trains from coast to coast
- Build affordable, zero-carbon public transit
- Invest in cycling infrastructure and walkable communities
See you on the campaign trail,

The Green Plan for better mobility
- Increase funding to stimulate a massive re-investment in public transportation
- Increase federal infrastructure funding for public transit projects
- Creates zero-carbon public transportation everywhere in the country by 2040
- Ensures transit is affordable and accessible to rural and remote communities
- Invests $600 million in 2020-21 in passenger rail transportation, rising to $720 million by 2023 to develop regional rail networks
- Build high-speed rail in Toronto-Ottawa-Quebec City and Calgary-Edmonton corridors.
