<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>Today, the Honourable Mona Fortier, President of the Treasury Board and Member of Parliament for Ottawa—Vanier, and His Worship Mark Sutcliffe, Mayor of the City of Ottawa, announced $350 million in federal funding to contribute towards the purchase of 350 zero-emission buses and install related charging infrastructure for Ottawa’s bus fleet.</p>
<p>These new electric buses will replace current diesel-powered buses in the City’s public transit fleet. The City will install the required charging infrastructure, build a new vehicle storage facility and upgrade two existing ones, and purchase other related infrastructure to maintain and operate the battery electric buses.</p>
<p>The electrification of vehicles is a key initiative toward the City of Ottawa’s Energy Evolution Strategy goal of reducing GHG emissions in municipal operations by 100 per cent by 2040 and demonstrates the City’s commitment to lead by example. With the gradual phase-out of diesel buses as they reach the end of their life cycle, OC Transpo is targeting a fully zero-emission bus fleet by 2036.<br />
At its meeting on January 25, 2023, Ottawa City Council will consider the budget authority requests to begin the procurement of zero-emission OC Transpo buses and related charging infrastructure.</p>
<p>Public transit is key to creating sustainable economic growth and more inclusive communities. This investment will create jobs, improve user experience, reduce gridlock on our roads and help the City of Ottawa and Canada get to net-zero by 2050.<br />
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country’s economy, building resilient communities, and building a better future for all Canadians.</p>

<h2>Le gouvernement du Canada finance l’achat de centaines de nouveaux autobus électriques pour Ottawa</h2>
<p>Aujourd’hui, l’honorable Mona Fortier, présidente du Conseil du Trésor et députée d’Ottawa-Vanier, et Mark Sutcliffe, maire d’Ottawa, ont annoncé un financement fédéral de 350 millions de dollars pour contribuer à l’achat de 350 autobus zéro émission et pour l’installation des infrastructures de recharge connexes pour le parc d’autobus d’Ottawa.</p>
<p>Ces nouveaux autobus électriques remplaceront les autobus à moteur diesel actuels du parc de transport en commun de la ville. La Ville installera l&#8217;infrastructure de recharge requise, construira une nouvelle installation d&#8217;entreposage des véhicules et améliorera deux installations existantes, et achètera d&#8217;autres infrastructures connexes pour entretenir et exploiter les autobus électriques à batterie.</p>
<p>L&#8217;électrification des véhicules est une initiative clé pour atteindre l&#8217;objectif de la Stratégie d&#8217;évolution énergétique de la Ville d&#8217;Ottawa, qui consiste à réduire de 100 % les émissions de GES liées aux activités municipales d&#8217;ici 2040, et démontre l&#8217;engagement de la Ville à prêcher par l&#8217;exemple. Grâce à l&#8217;élimination progressive des autobus diesel à mesure qu&#8217;ils atteignent la fin de leur cycle de vie, OC Transpo vise un parc d&#8217;autobus entièrement zéro émission d&#8217;ici 2036.</p>
<p>Lors de sa réunion du 25 janvier 2023, le Conseil municipal d&#8217;Ottawa examinera les demandes d&#8217;autorisation budgétaire pour commencer l&#8217;acquisition d&#8217;autobus à émissions zéro d&#8217;OC Transpo et de l&#8217;infrastructure de recharge connexe.</p>
<p>Le transport en commun est essentiel pour créer une croissance économique durable et des communautés plus inclusives. Cet investissement permettra de créer des emplois, d&#8217;améliorer l&#8217;expérience des usagers, de réduire les embouteillages sur nos routes et d&#8217;aider la Ville d&#8217;Ottawa et le Canada à atteindre la carboneutralité d&#8217;ici 2050.</p>
<p>En investissant dans les infrastructures, le gouvernement du Canada fait croître l’économie de notre pays, permet de bâtir des collectivités résilientes et entraîne un avenir meilleur pour tous les Canadiens.</p>
