UBCM Ramps up Gas Tax Fund Website

   

Over the first nine years of the program, the Gas Tax Fund is delivering nearly $1.6 Billion to BC communities.  As the program is set to continue to grow beyond 2014, UBCM has redeveloped our Gas Tax Fund webpages to provide more information.  Reports are now available on every project that has utilized Gas Tax funds up to 2012. We have also provided the reports in a variety of formats to make searching and comparison easier.  How important is this program to BC communities? The allocated funding stream alone has already funded over 1500 local infrastructure projects. Read More
