Which public figures have the best and worst records when it comes to advocating for better transit funding? TTCriders is calling on the public to vote on a list of nominees as part of its 2014 Transit Champion and Transit Troll Awards.

Nominated in the category of champion are TTC CEO Andy Byford, city councillor Joe Mihevc, transit fares activist Sheryl Lindsay and blogger Steve Munro. Up for the dubious Troll distinction are Doug Ford, anti-LRT councillor Giorgio Mammoliti, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne.

The awards will be announced at an event Dec. 4. For more information check out TTCriders.ca.
