As part of a national grassroots advocacy campaign for public transportation systems in Canada, the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA) has created a video titled Let’s Talk Public Transit. The purpose of the video is to demonstrate the impact on federal investments in public transit.

CUTA explains that the Hon. Denis Lebel, Canadian minister of transport, infrastructure, and communities, is in the process of consulting with provinces and key stakeholders to determine what to include in Canada’s next Long-Term Infrastructure Plan (LTIP). Its “Take Action” campaign also includes a template letter to the minister with recommendations to make public transit a central pillar of the next LTIP, and a social media campaign to spread the word and take action.

More information about the video and the campaign is available here.
