#Toronto #TOpoli Wynne redirects funding for transit & infrastructure. HST on gas, 7.5 cent provincial gas tax dedicated rev. #onpoli
Genevieve Tomney @genevievetomney 1m
In fact, there would be two parallel funds. One of $15B for GTHA and another of $14B for the rest of the province. #onpoli #sl

Premier also reannouncing plans to use Green Bonds to fund transit - not new revenues but new debt, to be clear #onpoli

2WAD Service is coming, a priority.
2WAD is coming to Waterloo. Four extra peak trips, 2 more to Kitchener and 2 more to Toronto.
29 billion to be spent from 2014-2024
It's called Move Ontrario.

The split fund between the GTHA and the rest of the Province is excellent news. This is very good for places like Ottawa, Kitchener-Waterloo, etc.
The one question I have is, if the gas tax money is paying for stuff already, how will they pay for those other services, or what will they cut?

Two separate funds, one for the GTA, one for the rest of the province.
2WAD express rail is priority one
15 minutes service on all lines

That last part is very interesting. Does that include Milton then?
