As the provincial government returns to the legislature for the fall session, join the Next Stop: 50-50 campaign to deliver a transit mandate: Restore 50-50 funding by Dec. 3! Action to improve transit is critical during this legislative session.

The rally will include speakers, music, a photobooth, kids activities, and more! Details coming soon. Open to everyone!

Context: This September, the government has made transit free for youth. This is a great step! Next, we need increased operating funding through restoring the 50-50 funding agreement, to improve transit service for all riders.

Public transit is a fundamental public service that reduces costs, congestion, and pollution. Current transit systems in Manitoba are underfunded, in part because of cuts under the previous provincial government. We’re calling on Premier Kinew to restore provincial 50–50 transit funding for Manitoba municipalities by December 3, 2026, so the Province matches all new operating investments in public transit. Restoring 50-50 will put more buses on the road, expand coverage, and improve service.
