Feeling Congested? TTCriders engages with Metrolinx and the City of Toronto

Over the last few weeks, TTCriders has been busy attending public consultation meetings hosted by Metrolinx and the City of Toronto. The purpose of these consultations is to discuss how to pay for transit expansion projects across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area, which are identified in the Regional Transportation Plan, The Big Move.

TTCriders is thrilled that Metrolinx and the City of Toronto are seeking public input on this important issue; however, as the voice of transit riders, we want to ensure that any future revenue tools and projects align with our goals of affordable, fast, frequent and accessible transit in all corners of the city. TTCriders is currently drafting a position statement for Metrolinx and the City, which will identify our preferred revenue tools to help fund transit expansion in our region, while maximizing benefits for riders.

If you have any comments or suggestions, we would love to hear from you! Please email us at: [email protected]

You can also submit feedback directly to Metrolinx and the City of Toronto until March 15th.

TTCriders is excited to see so many voices in the conversation on public transit. Read media coverage of the events from The Globe and Mail, CBC News, The Toronto Star, Inside Toronto, and Torontoist.

Promised opening dates for the LRTs have come and gone, while transit costs have skyrocketed under Metrolinx. Transit riders are looking for answers and credible opening dates for the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRTs.
