Government of Canada supports electrification of Langley School District’s bus fleet
John Aldag, Member of Parliament for Cloverdale—Langley City statement on $13,800 for SD35 bus fleet
April 24, 2023 – Greenwood, British Columbia
Today, John Aldag, Member of Parliament for Cloverdale—Langley City, announced a federal investment of $13,800 to support the electrification of Langley School District’s bus fleet.
Funding will be used to develop a strategy to transition to zero emission buses (ZEBs) for schools in Langley. The project includes assessing the existing bus fleet, developing a roadmap to zero emission, determining maintenance and operational needs, establishing costs, and developing an implementation and roll-out plan.
This investment will help Langley contribute to Canada’s objective of reaching net-zero by 2050 by providing comfortable, and clean transit to students.
By investing in public transit infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country’s economy, increasing the resiliency of our communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
“Investing in zero emission transit infrastructure is essential for building the sustainable communities of tomorrow. That's why we are working with the Langley School District to help transition Langley school buses to zero emission vehicles. The Government of Canada will continue to collaborate with partners to invest in projects like this one that bring us one step closer to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 and building a stronger, healthier Canada. Thank you to the Langley School District for partnering with us on this fantastic project that will benefit our students and members of our community in Langley City and the Township of Langley.” – John Aldag, Member of Parliament for Cloverdale – Langley City
