TTCriders Book Club - Safety & Women's Transit Needs
Join us August 3 for the next TTCriders book club! We will read and discuss two recent reports about public transit, safety issues, and women's transit needs. You should attend even if you have not completed the reading.
We're reading these two reports:
- "Understanding and Responding to the Transit Needs of Women in Canada" (60+ pages) by Priyanka Babbar, Joseph Peace, David Cooper, Geneviève Boisjoly and Emily Grisé. The majority of riders on public transit are women who tend to travel more often at off-peak times — mid afternoons, evenings and late at night — to trip-chain — making multiple stops on the same trip — and take shorter trips with the purpose of serving others.
- "A Riders Plan for Public Safety" (12 pages) by Riders Alliance NYC. Riders Alliance has released a plan to address the root causes of the issues at the core of riders’ sense of safety on the subway—created in partnership with experts in the subjects of transit, housing, healthcare, policing reform, and affordability.
