In Mayor Cam Guthrie’s State of the City address for 2020, he put forward the idea that, in the (near) future, he’d like to see free transit for those 18 and under in Guelph.
While I’d consider myself a supporter of that vision, I did have questions about how the city would fund such an initiative.
Last month, the Transit Action Alliance of Guelph (TAAG) hosted a chat over coffees at Planet Bean Coffee in downtown Guelph.https://www.guelphmercury.com/opinion-story/9864728-four-ways-to-pay-for-free-public-transit-for-teens-in-guelph/
The mayor and members of the Guelph Coalition for Active Transportation (GCAT) were in attendance. Ideas were shared about the ways in which the free-transit initiative could be funded with the least burden to taxpayers.
