Gas Tax Fund: Delivering Results For Canadians - Ontario

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 Ontario 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. The Province, The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and the City of Toronto are parties to the bilateral agreement and AMO delivers the programs to other Ontario municipalities.

Results for Ontarians

The GTF is providing Ontarians 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 community energy systems, water and wastewater treatment and local roads and bridges, including:

  • A new material recovery facility in the Region of Durham.
  • Building a central composting facility and developing the green cart collection program in the City of Hamilton.
  • Repairing a collapsed Scotia Road culvert in the Township of Perry.
  • Rehabilitation of two bridges in the Municipality of Huron East.
