The town of Pelham is getting provincial cash for transit.
Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff announcing today that the town will receive $500,000 of support through the Community Transportation Grant Program.
Oosterhoff says the investment will improve the quality of life for many people in Pelham who are currently underserved by transit.
He says whether it's seniors, students or others, access to transit helps people get where they need to be and live active, independent lives.
Right now the Pelham Bus Transit pilot project offers morning and evening schedules with direct stops at Niagara College's Welland campus, transfers to Brock, and connection to the Regional Transit System at the Seaway Mall in Welland.
It also offers travel within Pelham and the ability to connect to Welland & St. Catharines Transit.

Through the program, the province will provide municipalities with $30 million over five years to support local transit and intercommunity bus service in areas with little or no public transit.
Funding will be provided for 45 different projects in 40 communities.
