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.

March 21: Executive Committee Meeting

RSVP or share on Facebook Thursday March 21st 9am at City Hall Help us pack the March 21st Executive Committee meeting to encourage Councillors to Save Our Subway! It is critical that Executive Committee takes leadership and the next step in defending our transit system.

Here's how your Councillor voted: 

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 here

How are your Don Valley West candidates promising to improve public transit?

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?
