The City of Guelph has broken ground on the new Guelph Transit and Fleet Services Facility.

The facility, which is expected to be completed by 2030, will serve as foundational infrastructure for storing, charging, and maintaining the city’s electric buses and other fleet vehicles.

Funding for the project has come in the form of $77 million from the Public Transit Infrastructure Stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program.

“Investing in public transit is key to building strong, connected and sustainable communities. We’re improving the capacity of transit systems to ensure people can safely and reliably get where they need to go,” said Guelph MP Dominique O’Rourke. “Building a modern transit facility in Guelph creates the capacity required to increase the size and sustainability of the Guelph Transit fleet and serve generations to come.”

PCL Constructors will lead the construction work, with Stantec as the prime consultant and Strasman Architects as the architect.
