Affordable, accessible, and expanded public transit is key to a just recovery and winning back transit riders. It is one climate solution that will reduce private vehicle use and greenhouse gas emissions! Other cities, like Chicago, Washington, and Los Angeles, are lowering fares to win back riders.
That’s why the next few months are really important. The TTC Board is debating a new fare plan in February 2022 (originally scheduled for Nov 17th, 2021) and it needs to be bold enough to win thousands of people over to public transit and make transit accessible now.
Can you help TTCriders mobilize for the changes we need? Sign our petition right now or get involved in one of our upcoming campaign events. We’ll only convince politicians to make big changes like expanding free transit to high school students if they hear from thousands of people.
Help us put up posters at your local transit stops to win lower fares and better service. When you sign up for the poster, we will follow up with you ( you can either print the posters yourself or we can have them delivered to you).
Join us in Scarborough- Rouge Park, Scarborough North, and Beaches-East York and help us put up posters at transit stops. Join our various outreach events happening in your neighbourhood.
Help us connect with hundreds of transit riders and supporters. We need to mobilize transit riders to speak at the Nov 17th TTC Board meeting and to join us at the Nov 7th Poster Day.
You have an opportunity to make a difference. Attend our deputation training on November 15 to learn the "three ingredients" needed to tell your transit story and make an impact at the upcoming TTC Board meeting. Whether you want to speak at the TTC Board meeting or not, attend this training to connect with transit supporters. NOTE: The November 29th TTC Board meeting may focus on potential service cuts. The fare policy debate is postponed to February 2022.
Toronto has spent years dealing with the consequences of underfunded public transit. Aging infrastructure, delayed repairs and subway slow zones have all placed pressure on a system that millions of Torontonians rely on. These problems cannot be fixed overnight and require sustained investment in the workers, vehicles, tracks and infrastructure that keep transit moving.
