Tecumseh is set to receive provincial gas tax funding to enhance transit services.
Windsor-Tecumseh MPP Andrew Dowie announced on Friday that the Town will get $176,470 to back Tecumseh Transit. This is the Town’s portion of Ontario’s 2025-26 Gas Tax program.
“This support will enhance connectivity, improve access to essential local services, and make it easier for residents to travel safely and efficiently throughout Tecumseh’s borders and beyond,” said Dowie.
Mayor Gary Mc Namara stated that this funding comes at a perfect time as residents are facing high gas prices.
“This funding will be well spent on keeping our transit system operating effectively, which includes improving and maintaining the Town’s electric bus fleet to ensure Tecumseh residents have eco-friendly, accessible, and reliable transportation well into the future,” said Mc Namara. “These investments further the Town’s goals of reducing our carbon footprint and reliance on non-renewable energy sources.”
The Town introduced three electric buses to its fleet in June 2025, replacing the diesel-powered ones that were noisier and more costly to maintain.
Tecumseh is among 107 municipalities across Ontario receiving funding through the Gas Tax program.
