Stop The Cuts advocates for federal funding to save STC
An organization pushing to resurrect the Saskatchewan Transportation Company says the province isn’t considering all of its funding options.
Stop The Cuts told reporters at a news conference Wednesday federal funding available for transit projects could save the STC, which ended service May 31.
The group said Saskatchewan could receive between $320-640 million through the $20.1-billion public transit infrastructure fund (PTIF) over 11 years, noting only some of the money would be needed to operate the provincial bus company.
“You could argue that the STC is transportation infrastructure for rural Saskatchewan,” said Stop The Cuts member Peter Garden. “We believe that a deal could be negotiated.”
