The provincial government is taking control of new TTC projects and preventing the City of Toronto from moving ahead with its own plans. But Eastern Scarborough has been left off the map. Our MPPs are cancelling the Eglinton East LRT to Malvern and UofT Scarborough that they promised to build. Let's hold them to their promise and make sure new transit lines are owned, operated, and maintained by the TTC, not privatized.
The province is cutting $1.1 billion to TTC operations and maintenance funding over the next 10 years, even though the TTC is the least funded system in North America. The provincial funding had already been allocated to important TTC maintenance work and accessibility upgrades. This will mean more delays and crowding, service cuts, and higher fares.
Join the March for Malvern to demand the fairly funded and accessible public transit system we need. Write to your MPP here: www.ttcriders.ca/oursubway
More info about route and speakers coming soon. Tokens available and snacks provided.

(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
