Less gas tax funding is flowing to North Bay from Queen’s Park.

The 2017-18 allotment is $869,000.

That’s down from $884,000 last year.

The funding can be used for infrastructure upgrades, buying additional transit vehicles, adding more routes, extending hours of service, implementing fare strategies and improving accessibility.

Right now two cents per litre goes to municipalities with transit systems.

That’s increasing to 2.5 cents in 2019.
