$7.9M in federal, territorial money to Whitehorse for buses

The City of Whitehorse is getting 10 new city buses thanks to some federal and territorial cash. The federal government is giving the city $5,894,443 through the public transit stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program - also referred to as ICIP. The Yukon government is contributing $1,965,481 as well. The ten buses that will be added to the city's fleet will be 40-feet and fully accessible, according to a July 3 press release. 'New buses will ensure efficiency and maintain service levels while helping to meet the needs of the growing city for residents and visitors,' reads the release from Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada. 'The additional buses will allow opportunities to improve routes, ensure unexpected maintenance can be accommodated, and will maximize the service life of the fleet for the city.' The city had to make a budget adjustment of $495,000 earlier this year when it turned out the five transit buses it had initially ordered would cost more due to tariffs. Matthew Cameron, a spokesperson for the city told the News the $495,000 would go toward the 10 buses, which include the five buses ordered. Currently the city's bus fleet has 15 buses, purchased between 2008 and 2023. The new buses will be brought into the fleet in a staggered way, according to a schedule laid out in a backgrounder accompanying the press release. In 2024, two buses were added; this year, three buses will be added, according to the schedule. Over the course of 2026 and 2027, five buses will be added to the fleet; two buses will replace existing parts of the fleet that are near the end of their useful life, while three buses will be added to 'improve service during peak transit hours, enabling the system to better meet high demand by increasing frequency and reliability.' A spokesperson for Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada confirmed via email that the money announced is different and separate from the $2.4 million announced for the city's transit system earlier this year . As reported by the News at the time, that money came from a different federal fund, the Canada Public Transit Fund, and could go towards new benches and bus shelters along transit routes. The City of Whitehorse increased transit fare fees earlier this year, for the first time since 2008. The increase is staggered and went from $2.50 to $3 on July 1, 2025, and is set to increase to $3.50 on July 1, 2026. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.
