Gas Tax Fund – Permanent Funding for Municipalities |
Description |
This program provides municipalities with predictable, long–term funding, enabling construction and rehabilitation of core public infrastructure. The federal government has Gas Tax Fund agreements with provinces, territories, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Union of British Columbia Municipalities and the City of Toronto. Those agreements remain in effect until 2023–24. The permanent Gas Tax Fund supports increased productivity and economic growth as well as strong cities and communities. Municipalities can pool, bank and borrow against this funding, providing significant additional financial flexibility. Eligible recipients are required to report annually on their use of funds and their compliance to the terms and conditions of the Gas Tax Fund agreements. |
Expected Results |
Provinces, territories and municipal associations are accountable for funding provided to local governments through the Gas Tax Fund. Municipalities use this stable, predictable source of funding as they build and improve infrastructure that supports productivity, economic growth, the environment, as well as their efforts to build strong cities and communities. |

Fiscal Year of Last Completed Evaluation |
The Municipal Asset Management Program (MAMP) is an eight–year, $110 million program that supports Canadian municipalities and communities to make informed infrastructure investment decisions based on stronger asset management practices. |
Decision Following the Results of Last Evaluation |
Infrastructure Canada entered into an agreement with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), which is responsible for delivering the Asset Management Fund under the name of “Municipal Asset Management Program”. MAMP will support an estimated 2,850 municipalities in all provinces and territories to manage their infrastructure more strategically, thereby contributing to the success of new federal investments in municipal infrastructure. |

Disaster Adaptation and Mitigation Fund |
Description |
DMAF is a national, competitive merit-based program designed to support investments that will mitigate current and future climate-related risks and disasters triggered by natural hazards, such as floods, wildfires, droughts, and seismic events. Ultimately, the DMAF aims to reduce the socio-economic impacts of disasters triggered by natural hazards on Canadians by focusing investments on vulnerable communities at high risk of infrastructure failure that result in threats to: health and safety; interruptions in essential services; significant disruptions in economic activity; and the increasingly high cost for recovery and replacement to frequent and intense climate events and disasters triggered by natural hazards. |
Expected Results |
The DMAF will increase the capacity of infrastructure (both structural and natural) to adapt to climate change impacts, disasters triggered by natural hazards and extreme weather events. It will increase the ability of communities to adapt and withstand climate change impacts, disasters triggered by natural hazards and extreme weather events. Overall, it will lead to increased economic, environmental, and social resilience, and help insure that infrastructure is managed in a more sustainable way. |
