Gas Tax Fund: Delivering Results For Canadians – Alberta

On April 1st, 2009, the federal Gas Tax Transfers to the provinces and territories to support better municipal infrastructure doubled to $2 billion annually. The Gas Tax Fund (GTF) will remain at that level beyond 2014, when the Government makes it a permanent measure, providing British Columbia municipalities with stable and predictable funding for their long-term infrastructure priorities.

The GTF is part of an ongoing commitment from the Government of Canada to create jobs and stimulate the economy through modern public infrastructure. It is also an example of all levels of government working together to improve infrastructure and the quality of life of Canadians.

The GTF makes capital investments in environmentally sustainable municipal infrastructure that improves water and air quality and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Eligible investments include water, wastewater and solid waste infrastructure, public transit, community energy systems, and local roads and bridges. The GTF combines predictable, long-term funding with local decision making and planning to enable municipalities to build and rehabilitate their core public infrastructure.

Gas Tax funding is provided nationwide and the money is allocated based on population.

Results for Albertans

The GTF is providing Albertans with stable funding that will have a tangible impact on their quality of life and the long-term sustainability of their communities. The GTF has already provided funding towards various projects that support public transit, water and wastewater, and local roads, including:

  • Expanding light rail transit systems in Calgary and Edmonton.
  • Upgrading sidewalks and the wastewater distribution system in the Village of Berwyn.
  • Purchasing eight new transit buses to enhance service in Lethbridge.
  • Purchasing 40 additional CTrain cars in Calgary.
