Ottawa, Ontario – The Government of Canada will invest in 16 projects across the country that support environmentally friendly transportation, the Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, announced. The announcement was made on Clean Air Day, which is being celebrated during Environment Week.

The projects, which will receive a total of over $1 million under the Moving On Sustainable Transportation (MOST) program, represent a variety of initiatives. These range from studies that will apply transportation demand management principles to community colleges in Nova Scotia and the Ottawa-Gatineau region to projects that will increase the use of cycling by elementary students in Vancouver.

“The MOST program provides Canadians with practical ways to help reduce the impact of transportation on the environment,” said Minister Cannon.
