FROM THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Action 5.1.5: Support the establishment of a permanent student and/or youth transit pass programs and collaborate on additional targeted programs.
Support for a permanent Student Transit Pass program encourages greater transit usage and independence in youth, reduces the cost of transportation for households, and saves time for families. Additional targeted programs can be developed to encourage greater transit or active transportation usage, or to pilot or expand community and healthcare-focused transportation offerings, building on previous examples such as the Electrify Nova Scotia Rebate Program.
