The Northern Community Shuttle program is accepting applications for service between April 1, 2025 and March 31, 2027. The deadline to apply is October 18.
This program provides grant funding for passenger transportation services that help northerners access services and amenities, visit friends and family and connect to long-haul transportation options along major highway corridors.
Eligible Applicants:
*All applicants must be located within Northern Development’s service region.
-For profit transportation companies based in the Trust’s service area with a minimum of three years’ operating a similar service
-Registered First Nation governments, wholly owned Indigenous development corporations and tribal councils, Inuit and Metis organizations
-Local governments and wholly owned local government corporations
-Registered non-profits
-For profit transportation companies based in the Trust’s service area with a minimum of three years’ operating a similar service
Any proposed community shuttle service based out of a community within Northern Development’s service area may apply to the program, but priority will be given to applications that provide services for smaller, underserved communities located at a distance from hub communities or off major highway corridors that are not currently served by public transportation. Proposed shuttles must be open to the general public and not limited to one specific user group or purpose (i.e.. medical travel or for seniors).
