Like an "alternative budget," our strategy proposes a bolder version of the
TTC's most recent Ridership Growth Strategy.
This report was a collaborative effort of over a dozen TTCriders members and allies. It is grounded in the experience of everyday transit riders and sets out a bold vision for public transit that is accessible and affordable, and serves our communities well.
For each major strategy we estimated the ridership growth and corresponding reduction in GHG emissions to demonstrate the potential of investing in better transit. If all calculated strategies in this booklet were implemented, Toronto would achieve a savings of 57,781 tons of CO2 emissions per year, the equivalent of 13,532 homes' energy use or the amount absorbed by 2.4 million trees per year.
