Transportation
Dignitaries participated in the opening of the new Saint John Transit Commission Operations Centre. The $23.5 million facility was made possible through funding by the governments of New Brunswick and Canada along with the City of Saint John. The centre will operate with an estimated 50 per cent energy savings. It features a high-efficiency heating system, low wattage lighting and a solar wall. It has the capacity to collect rain water to be used to wash the transit fleet.
