1. FAIR TTC FUNDING: Fairly fund the TTC with a $1.50-per-ride subsidy, so riders get better service and lower fares.
2. LOWER TTC FARES: Fund lower fares for all,* including the next phases of the low income transit Fair Pass. The Fair Pass discounts TTC fares to $2 and monthly passes to $115.50. The first phase is funded and provides the discount to people receiving OW and ODSP, and the next phases will provide the same discount to people receiving housing and childcare subsidies, then to all other people living on low incomes.
3. BETTER TTC SERVICE: Fund better TTC service, including the Express Bus Network Plan, the Ridership Growth Strategy, and 10-minutes-or-better service on all routes. Fund a fully accessible TTC.
4. KEEP TRANSIT PUBLIC: Keep the TTC publicly owned, operated, and maintained, and reject the provincial upload of the subway.
5. RAPID PUBLIC TRANSIT: Fund and build a publicly-owned rapid transit network, prioritizing sensible, cost-effective projects that serve the most riders and underserved neighbourhoods.
*TTCriders and the Fair Fare Coalition are calling for free TTC for people who receive social assistance and on extreme weather alert days, $50 passes and $1 fares for all other low income transit riders, and lower fares for all.
