"improving affordability should not come at the expense of service quality. Efforts to make transit more affordable should be accompanied by a continuous review of operations to identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce unnecessary costs, and make the best use of available resources. This can help create room in the budget while maintaining reliable, safe, and high-quality service for riders.
As a CPA, CA with a background in audit, finance, and compliance, I bring relevant experience to City Hall’s budgeting and oversight processes. Combined with my 9 years of experience in TTC and an understanding of TTC operations, this experience would allow me to take a detailed, evidence-based approach to identifying opportunities for greater efficiency, stronger financial accountability, and better use of public funds.
We recognize that some of the topics outlined above fall outside the direct jurisdiction of a Ward 11 Councillor or extend beyond transit policy."
