Supporting public transit means supporting the Quebec economy
- The economic spinoffs from public transit are three times higher than those from private transportation by automobile*.
. - Quebec has several companies that manufacture public transit equipment..
- Investing in this sector consolidates our industrial base and contributes to the development of expertise.
- The annual revenue in this industrial sector is more than two billion dollars.
- To meet the needs resulting from its dependence on automobile transportation, Quebec imported no less than $13.7 billion in oil and $7 billion in automobiles in 2012. Together, these imports represent 94% of Quebec’s trade deficit.
Comparison of spinoffs based on a $10-million expenditure
