The Gas Tax Fund is helping to build communities by providing reliable, predictable funding in support of municipal infrastructure that not only enhances the local economy, but also the local environment and quality of life.

The Canada-Yukon Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund targets infrastructure projects that will improve the quality of life and economic opportunities of Yukon communities.

The Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund emphasizes partnerships with any combination of municipal, provincial, territorial governments, as well as the private sector, and each partnership is governed by specifically tailored arrangements.

Through the Public Transit Fund the Government of Canada has provided $400 million, over one year, to support investments in public transit infrastructure in cities and communities. Modelled on the federal gas tax, Public Transit Funds are allocated to provinces and territories on a per capita basis. These funds support environmental outcomes of cleaner air and lowered greenhouse emissions.
