Zero Emission Transit Fund (ZETF)

Through the Zero Emission Transit Fund, the Government of Canada is supporting public transit and school bus operators plan for electrification, support the purchase of 5,000 zero emission buses and build associated infrastructure, including charging infrastructure and facility upgrades.

There are two Zero Emission Transit Fund components under which projects are eligible for funding:

1. Planning Projects: Eligible projects include studies, modelling and feasibility analysis that will support the development of future larger scale capital projects.
    
2. Capital Projects: Eligible capital projects include buses, charging and refuelling infrastructure, and other supporting infrastructure needs.

This funding will help communities to electrify their school and transit bus fleets, while reducing emissions and operational costs over the long-term. 

The ZETF targets investments across Canada that support clean transportation by investing in the vehicles, infrastructure and organizational readiness that make fleet electrification possible. The transportation sector accounts for 25% of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), and with Canada generating approximately 82% of its electricity from zero emission power sources, shifting vehicles away from fossil fuel powertrains towards zero emission powertrains presents an opportunity for GHG emissions reductions.
