Are you funded — or just allocated?
The Canada Public Transit Fund (CPTF) Baseline stream is roughly 2.5× the size of your federal allocation when local share is in. Most agencies leave money on the table, mis-time their tranches, or trip a compliance trap that freezes claims. This scorecard tells you which.
- 15 diagnostic questions across 3 domains
- Auto-scored — your number means something specific
- Plain-English read on what to fix first
Three uncomfortable questions, answered with evidence.
Money you’re not capturing.
Eligible non-capital and planning spend — funded at up to 80% — is rarely claimed. A 2% gap on a $100M allocation is $2M a year you walked away from.
Whether you’ll actually spend it.
A 5-year capital plan that’s optimistic — and not delivered to plan — quietly threatens your second tranche. Treasury, sequencing, and Class C estimates decide this before the program does.
What can claw it back.
Anti-stacking caps, missing condition assessments, unapproved local match — the compliance traps that freeze claims and force funds back to Ottawa.
Built from inside the program.
We helped TransLink develop the criteria for building and submitting its CPTF Baseline Capital Plan, and built the framework — business case, submission, ongoing management — for the funding that followed. The scorecard is the diagnostic we run before that work begins.
Five minutes. A number worth knowing.
