Ride the Bus Campaign for Sunshine
Coach |
The Ride the Bus Campaign in 2017 achieved
the goal of raising matching funds under the PTIF program. We expect you may seen
our new bus on the streets of Renfrew and the surrounding area, meeting the need
for group outings requiring acessible transportation. Congratulations to everyone
who supported this campaign and made this venture such a success. |

The Ride the Bus Campaign had the
goal of raising funds in order to acquire a new accessible small bus to replace
the current bus in the Sunshine Coach fleet. The then current bus was eleven years old
and although
had served us well, was approaching the end of its usable life cycle. Our new bus is incredibly important in providing group
outing capability to local Long Term Care Facilities, Schools and Churches.
Our new bus has a capacity to transport ten (10) ambulatory clients together with four
(4) wheelchair clients.
Our bus is often seen at every kind of community event and is critical in assisting our
fellow citizens who are living with disabilities that create transportation barriers
in their lives, to paticipate in activities that would otherwise be beyond their
reach.
Your help in raising the funds necessary to acquire this new bus and help keep everything
that our great community has to offer within the reach of every citizen was crucial.
We are pleased to remind you that every dollar that was raised by our Ride the Bus
Campaign was matched by the Government of Canada / Province of Ontario under
the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF). This fund provided grants that
supported the acquisition of accessible vehicles, including a new accessible
bus, that will ensure our fleet continues to have the necessary capacity to service
the transportation needs of our clients moving forward into the future. |
