Transit Fare Assistance Program

Civic Tech volunteers helped connect Fredericton's charity organizations with the City of Fredericton's Transit Fare Assistance Program. The Transit Fare Assistance Program assists residents for whom transit costs make mobility a challenge. Under the program, registered non-profit organizations and agencies can apply to receive Transit and ParaTransit tickets to distribute to their clients. This will help people get to medical appointments, access education and training, seek employment, and/or visit service providers.
