Join the May 28 Day of Action for Emergency Transit Funding

Join the May 28th day of action for emergency transit funding!

Essential workers -- like nurses, doctors and sanitation staff -- rely on transit to get to work. 

But public transit systems across Canada are facing service cuts and driver layoffs, because they depend mostly on fares for funding.  Right now we need more service, not less, for safe physical distancing on transit! 

Here’s how you and your organization can participate in the online day of action: 

1) Save the date for May 28th

2) Spread the word!
  • Get your local community and organization on board!
  • Download promotional graphics and share on social media with the hashtag #keeptransitmoving  
3) On May 28th, share why public transit matters to you
  • On May 28, download graphics from our toolkit and share on social media
  • Take a selfie and explain why transit is important for you. Use the hashtag #keeptransitmoving and tag your elected representatives on social media
  • Make phone calls to PM Trudeau and your local MP and provincial representatives (more info will be posted at keeptransitmoving.ca/may-28-day-of-action and on Facebook on May 28)
  • Sign the petition: www.keeptransitmoving.ca/take-action

Letter & Survey: TTC must exchange expired tokens and tickets

Do you still have TTC tokens or paper senior/student tickets or day passes? The TTC has announced that they will stop accepting TTC tokens and paper tickets after December 31, 2024. But the TTC will not be issuing exchanges. This is unfair to people who have saved up tokens and tickets, especially low-income seniors. Gift cards and permanent stamps never expire --  why are transit fares any different?
