US EditionTrump’s 10% bus tariffs are about to pinch city budgets across North America
The 10% U.S. tariffs on buses raise costs for North American cities and manufacturers, threatening 25,000 Canadian jobs and slowing transit fleet modernization, experts say.
- U.S. tariffs on buses come into effect, and a transit advocacy group warned they will upend city budgets across North America.
- The industry is highly integrated with New Flyer, Nova Bus and Gillig operating plants in Winnipeg, Saint-Eustache and San Francisco, while U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 10 per cent tariff earlier this month citing national security.

- Communities facing rising infrastructure costs feel added pressure as Canada's bus manufacturing workforce employs upward of 25,000 people and has faced previous tariffs, urging government support.
