On Thursday, December 13th, City Council will debate the provincial government's plan to break apart the TTC and steal away valuable transit assets that belong to us. Breaking apart the TTC won't improve our commutes, it will create a two-tier system with higher fares and less say for our city.
Tokens will be phased out by the end of 2019 and the Fair Fare Coalition is concerned that the paper Presto tickets that will replace them will cause more barriers to accessing transit. This is our chance to ask the TTC and Metrolinx about their plans and raise questions and concerns.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Economic statement silent on promised transit funding
More than 100 municipalities expect to see increase in 2019
(Toronto, ON) November 15, 2018 — Today’s Provincial Fall Economic Statement did not reaffirm a commitment to increase provincial transit funding in 2019.
“Millions of transit riders across Ontario are counting on Premier Ford to deliver better transit starting in 2019,” said TTCriders Executive Director Shelagh Pizey-Allen. “Premier Ford must increase transit funding to cities and towns so transit riders see better, more affordable service.”
Want to get involved in TTCriders' campaigns for lower fares and better service? This is your chance to help set our strategic priorities and action plan for the next 2 years.
We're holding our strategic planning on November 18 from 1pm-5pm. All current members of TTCriders in good standing are welcome to attend and participate. Members who have attended 3 meetings are able to vote. Become a member of TTCriders here.
Do you live, work, or travel on King Street?
Please join us from 7pm-9pm on Monday, November 26 for One Year In: The King Street Pilot.
This open meeting is an opportunity to share your experience of the King Street Pilot, one year since its implementation in November 2017. We'll take a look at what the data shows about the pilot's success and engage in a facilitated discussion about the transit priority project's implementation and impact on our public space and day-to-day life.
Tune into our #KingStreetPilot Tweet Chat next Monday November 5th at 1pm. We’ll be posing a series of questions about how people have experienced the transit priority project since it’s implementation last November. We will also be joined by some great special guests (TBA) who will add their perspective to the conversation and will be available to answer any questions directed their way.
OCAD University's Visual Analytics Lab is conducting a survey on the King Street Pilot as part of their iCITY research project in partnership the University of Toronto Transportation Research Institute (UTTRI). The survey takes 12-14 minutes to complete and is designed to gain an understanding people's experience of the King Street Pilot streetscape and what draws them to walk and spend time in the area.
