## Resource

Student transit passes are back on track in Halifax for grades seven through twelve after a tense negotiation between the province and municipality, offering relief to thousands of teens — including those on income assistance and homeschooled students — with passes valid until August 31, 2027, available via the HFXGO app or physical copies. While this win ensures reliable access to school and work, it underscores Nova Scotia’s shaky transit funding model compared to other provinces, calling for long-term structural fixes.
