NDP MLA for Stikine Nathan Cullen is welcoming funding for bus operators and airports along the North Coast.
The support will help ensure that companies are able to weather the challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The funding will also help organizations plan for a post-pandemic world.
The NDP government issued a one-time investment of $6.2 million to various inter-city bus operators and $16.5 million for regional airports to support operations between April 1, 2021 and March 31, 2022. The funding will help companies maintain their service over the next year and help build back ridership.
The grant is providing airports the funds necessary to maintain air terminals, runways and other operations. The announcement is part of B.C.’s $10 billion Covid-19 response.
