Read our support letter for accelerating RapidTO TTC improvements on Dufferin and Bathurst.
Letter submitted to Toronto Executive Committee
Dear Mayor Olivia Chow and Executive Committee members,
TTCriders is a membership-based organization of transit users. We are writing in support of the recommendation to advance a strategy to accelerate the review and design of the RapidTO surface transit priority projects on Dufferin Street between Eglinton Avenue West and Dufferin Gate Loop and on Bathurst Street between Eglinton Avenue West and Lakeshore Boulevard.
RapidTO lanes on Eglinton East, Kingston, and Morningside have made a positive difference for transit riders and made the TTC faster and more reliable. Today’s recommendation aligns with a City Council decision in February 2024 to accelerate timeframes for the review of feasibility, design and implementation of projects within the Surface Transit Network Plan, where possible, including opportunities to proceed with segments of routes when feasible.
In addition to accelerating RapidTO, we encourage you to consider the following transit improvements to ensure that international guests have a positive experience on the TTC:
Sincerely,
TTCriders
February 7, 2025 (Toronto, ON) – TTCriders, a membership-based transit advocacy group, released the following statement in response to Premier Ford’s promise that the Eglinton Crosstown LRT will open in 2025.
(Toronto, ON) – Transit advocacy organization TTCriders will hold a rally on February 19, 2025 to call for answers about the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRT projects and ask all provincial parties to commit to solutions for more reliable transit.
Toronto’s transit and public spaces are torn. When City Hall can’t mend the fabric, tactical urbanists step up and stitch it back together
