The federal government has committed nearly $500,000 to enhance public transit infrastructure within the Estrie region of Quebec. This investment is intended to support several municipalities by improving the reliability and reach of transit services in rural communities. The announcement was made on April 24, 2026, highlighting a focus on regional connectivity and accessibility for residents living outside major urban centers.[1][2]
A primary component of this funding will allow the Haut-Saint-François Regional County Municipality (RCM) to purchase four new vehicles. These vehicles are specifically adapted to accommodate people with reduced mobility, addressing a critical need for inclusive transportation options in the area. By expanding the fleet, the project aims to strengthen the overall capacity of Transport HSF to serve the local population effectively.[1][2]
The official announcement took place at the East Angus Cultural Centre, featuring a delegation of federal and local representatives. Key figures in attendance included Caroline Desrochers, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Member of the National Assembly for Trois-Rivières, and Marianne Dandurand, the Member of Parliament for Compton—Stanstead. Local leadership was represented by Robert Roy, Prefect of the Haut-Saint-François RCM, and Nathalie Bresse, who serves as the Chair of the Board of Transport HSF.[1][2]
