加拿大城市面临公共过境维修资金危机。 Canadian cities face a critical funding crisis for public transit maintenance.
领先的加拿大移动组织警告说, 加拿大主要城市由于资金危机而难以维护公共交通系统. Leading Mobility Canada warns that major cities in Canada are struggling to maintain their public transit systems due to a critical funding crisis. 由于资金主要来自乘客票价和财产税,使得城市的选择有限,因此计划用于扩大过境的1 200亿美元无法帮助城市维持目前的服务水平。 The planned $120 billion for transit expansions won't help cities maintain current service levels, as funding primarily comes from passenger fares and property taxes, leaving cities with limited options. 报告建议实施车辆税、福利税和交通拥堵定价,作为创收的潜在解决办法,并建议省级立法改革,使过境系统能够筹集新资金。 The report suggests implementing vehicle levies, benefit taxes, and congestion pricing as potential revenue-generating solutions, and recommends provincial legislative changes to enable transit systems to raise new money.
