On July 23 Government Relations Minister Don McMorris announced over $3.7 million in funding for the Transit Assistance for People with Disabilities program (TAPD).
TAPD is an annual provincial grant program available to Saskatchewan municipalities who offer paratransit services.
“This investment reinforces our commitment to building a more inclusive and accessible Saskatchewan,” McMorris said in a release.
“Our government is proud of this investment to support municipalities in providing services to people with disabilities and reducing barriers to employment.”
Paratransit is critical for people with disabilities as passengers use the service to travel to school, work, medical appointments and other daily activities.

The Saskatchewan Government is pledging $3.7 million for the Transit Assistance for People with Disabilities program, including projects here in Lloydminster.
The provincial grants are handed out annually, and this year, Lloydminster will receive $8,866 toward para-transit needs. The Border City will be receiving an operating grant for things such as transportation costs and vehicle maintenance.
The province says the programs are part of the six priority areas in the Saskatchewan Disability Strategy, playing a key part in getting people using the services safely and effectively to school, work, medical appointments and other daily activities.
