Ride the Bus Campaign for Sunshine
Coach |
The Ride the Bus Campaign has achieved
the goal of raising matching funds under the PTIF program. We hope to have
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 has 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 current bus is eleven years old
and although
has served us well, is approaching the end of its usable life cycle. Our bus is incredibly important in providing group
outing capability to local Long Term Care Facilities, Schools and Churches.
Our bus has a capacity to transport ten (10) ambulatory clients together with four
(4) wheelchair clients.
Our bus is 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.
Please help us raise the funds necessary to acquire a new bus and help keep everything
that our great community has to offer within the reach of every citizen.
We encourage you to watch this space for information concerning fund raising events
that will be held in support of our Ride the Bus Campaign. Please check back
frequently as we will be updating this page whenever we have news. Also you
can monitor the percentage of our goal that has been attained to date as demonstrated
by the graphic that appears to the
right.
We are pleased to announce that every dollar raised by our Ride the Bus
Campaign will be matched by the Government of Canada / Province of Ontario under
the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF). This fund provides grants that
will support 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. |
