Gas Tax At Work
The federal Gas Tax Fund provides permanent and stable funding for local infrastructure
AMO administers the Fund to 443 municipalities in Ontario.
Canadian municipalities receive over $2 billion from the federal Gas Tax Fund each year; Ontario's share is over $800 million. Funds are distributed to communities across the province on a per-capita basis.
Since its launch in 2005, municipalities receiving federal Gas Tax funds through AMO have invested nearly $5.6 billion from the Fund into more than 8,100 local projects. Funds can be invested across 17 project categories to promote economic growth, strengthen communities, and improve the environment.
