A group representing Quebec municipalities calls on the next provincial government to increase funding for public transit agencies, saying existing resources do not meet operational needs. The request is directed at the incoming provincial administration and frames transit financing as an issue that affects communities across Quebec. In both reports, the municipalities’ organization asks the government to address what it describes as underfunding, without detailing specific amounts or timelines. The group’s position indicates that current funding levels are not sufficient to support service delivery and related costs for transit providers. The Winnipeg Free Press and Global News both report the same general call for additional provincial support, focusing on the need to boost public transit budgets rather than proposing alternative funding models. No further specifics—such as targeted line improvements, capital spending plans, or policy changes—are provided in the excerpts available. The outlets present the issue as a coordinated municipal appeal ahead of the next provincial government taking office.
