Low
Income Transit Pass (LITP) – Provincial
Initiative
The
MS Society is a member of the Vibrant Communities Calgary
FairFares Action
team. The action team is a
community committee made up of people living on low-income,
community members, agencies, and representatives from The City
of Calgary. Vibrant
Communities Calgary (VCC) exists to ignite community action
to create and implement bold solutions that reduce and prevent
poverty through collaboration and education. VCC is part of
a national network where diverse community leaders from across
Canada share ideas, practices and policies that strengthen
their community-based poverty reduction initiatives.
As
a member of the Fair Fares Action team the MS Society has
continued to participate to influence the Alberta Government
to adopt a province wide Universal Low Income Transit Pass
for all low-income Albertans.
