"As a Councillor, my commitment is to deliver a transit system that is reliable, affordable and safe for every family in our community. Before we ever consider asking riders to pay more, our first duty is to look inward at how we operate. By doing some careful housekeeping—improving maintenance scheduling, modernizing work processes, and finding smarter ways to deliver everyday service—we can stretch our budget further. Every dollar we save through better efficiency is a dollar that stays in our riders' pockets. Respecting your hard-earned money means ensuring our transit system runs as smoothly and wisely as possible, keeping fares fair and accessible for everyone."
