Executive Committee on March 21: Save Our Subway!
Executive Committee on March 21: Save Our Subway!
/>
Toronto City Council voted on February 26th to delay an
urgent motion
to defend our public transit system from being taken over by the province. The
province's plan will be a disaster for our city. Breaking up our integrated
system will delay the transit we need, let our system fall into disrepair, and
pave the way to higher subway fares and less accountability.
City Council has already voted in support of keeping the TTC in Toronto's hands.
Now we need our councillors to take the next step.
If City Council approves the "Save Our Subway" motion, they'll launch
public consultations and an information campaign in stations,
buses, and subways that will reach the TTC's 1.7 million transit riders. It's
exactly what we need to defend our subway. Read the "Save Our Subway" motion
