New Transit Tax for Rural Quebec

Starting January 2027, vehicle owners in MRC des Collines-de-lOutaouais will pay a new $30 fee—rising to $35 by 2028 and $40 by 2029—to fund major upgrades to Tanscollines public transit. The money will expand fixed routes and bring on-demand service to towns like L’Ange-Gardien by 2027, addressing rising demand and provincial funding cuts. Though regional leaders admit they’re not thrilled about the tax, they see it as essential to reduce car dependency and improve mobility across this rural area—where Chelsea and Cantley already pay it, and soon Val-des-Monts, La Pêche, and Pontiac will too.
