The Town of Tecumseh's electric transit fleet is hitting the streets this month.
The town is replacing its gas-powered vehicles with electric buses with funding from the Rural Transit Solutions Fund.
“Investing in cleaner, more efficient public transit systems is key to building strong, sustainable communities,” said Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Minister responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada Gregor Robertson. “Through the Rural Transit Solutions Fund, we’re helping communities like Tecumseh transition to electric transit—reducing emissions, improving service, and delivering on our climate goals.”
Charging infrastructure was also installed to support the daily operations of the transit service.
The routes and service levels are not changing.
“This is a significant step forward for our community,” said Mayor Gary McNamara. “By investing in electric transit, we are reducing our environmental footprint while continuing to improve local service for our residents. This initiative demonstrates our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and delivering real results for the people of Tecumseh.”
