The rapid increase of homeless people after the pandemic causes for TTC to take action as its trains and busses are being used for shelter, and as cases of violence and death are rising. The current situation entails for more safety measures to be taken and looked upon by the health and safety board and to begin working on new projects to encourage the safety of transit users.

These problems cannot be fixed overnight and require sustained investment in the workers, vehicles, tracks and infrastructure that keep transit moving.
