The province is offering money to local governments for active transportation.

A new Active Transportation Planning program was launched this week.  Local governments with populations up to 25,000 can now submit applications. The goal of the program is to support local governments to incorporate or enhance active transportation components of formal planning documents, including research, consultation, and policy development. 

Local governments with a population up to 25,000 that meet the grant criteria are eligible for up to $10,000 toward their active transportation planning costs.

The program is funded by the Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure and is administered by UBCM.  For more information, contact lgps@ubcm.ca or 250 356-5193

Five year anniversary

The local transit society had a gathering to celebrate 5 years in Merritt. The society operates two buses.  The buses  serve Merritt and Lower Nicola . An official said they started with a rider ship of 1500 a month and now have 4600. Steve Harwood an official from Victoria introduced Alastair Murdock a councilor and a chartered accountant.Alastair did a lot of the work getting transit to Merritt.È We started with volunteers for the first 6 months. He may have refered to transit that was run by Community futures before they secured BC transit. BC transit is a unionised province wide system

A rider can have a trip around Merritt and out to Lower Nicola for $1.50.

Cake and coffee were served to about 30 people.
