  The City of Edmonton's urban planning committee voted 5-0 to approve a two-year pilot project starting in 2027 that expands on-demand public transit by adding new drop-off points across three zones: between Westmount and Jasper Place, Bonnie Doon, Strathearn and Capilano, and the west end of Downtown from Corona to Groat Road. The implementation involves a one-time capital cost of $100,000 funded from the Edmonton Transit Service budget to purchase ARC card validators for the on-demand vehicles. The initiative aims to improve transit accessibility and affordability for seniors and local commuters traveling to grocery stores, medical appointments, and workplaces.

  The governments of Ontario and Canada announced up to $401.4 million in funding for the City of Mississauga through the Development Charge Reduction Program (DCRP). In exchange, Mississauga committed to reducing development charges by 50 per cent for residential developments and eliminating them completely on rental units with one-bedroom plus den, two, or three bedrooms from January 29, 2025, to March 31, 2029. The federal funding flows through the Build Communities Strong Fund (BCSF) under a 10-year, $8.8 billion cost-matched infrastructure agreement. The combined measures aim to unlock 90,000 new homes by funding housing-enabling infrastructure, including a zero-emission transit maintenance and storage facility and integrated transit infrastructure in downtown Mississauga.
