On Wednesday, the federal and provincial governments announced new funding for transit expansion in Toronto over the next 10 years. The province has committed $4.04 billion, and the federal government has announced approximately $3 billion in new funding.*
The provincial budget day was just announced, and the timing couldn’t be better. The budget will be tabled the day after TTCriders’ Sardine Ride and Rally on March 27 to call for more provincial funding for the TTC. This is a key time to take action for better transit, because this is the last budget before the election.

The King Street Transit Pilot between Bathurst Street and Jarvis Street aims to improve transit reliability, speed, and capacity. The two routes that run along King moved a combined 71,000 riders per day prior to the pilot. This is more riders than any other surface route, the Sheppard Subway, and the Scarborough RT.
Thanks to months of organizing together — holding rallies, educating and mobilizing transit riders, making deputations, and calling and sending emails to our elected officials — TTCriders, the Fair Fare Coalition, and our allies have won some major transit victories in the 2018 City Budget!
