The Government of Canada is providing Ontario communities with over $1.48 billion under PTIF, and will fund up to 50 per cent of the eligible project costs. Since 2016, 655 projects in over 83 communities across Ontario have received public transit funding under Phase 1 of the government's long-term plan, helping Ontarians get to work, school and appointments. In addition, $8.34 billion in public transit funding over the next 10 years will deliver results in communities across Ontario.

As part of the bilateral agreement with Ontario, the following 15 projects across Ontario have been approved for federal funding amounting to more than $10 million.
