A column by TTCriders in the Toronto Star explains why Toronto's next mayor needs to be a transit champion, and why actions speak louder than words.
TTC advocacy group ‘TTC Riders’ is holding an election debate of a different kind. Executive Director Shelagh Pizey Allen joined Sam and Jane to tell us why this debate will actually get more decided than other debates and why having NO candidates present is actually a good thing.
A group of TTC users is raising concerns about the public transit platforms of some leading contenders to be Toronto's next mayor, urging voters to parse their key promises — or lack thereof — before casting a ballot.
A local transit advocacy group is warning TTC customers about “red flags” in the policies of four of the top-polling mayoral candidates.
TTCriders raises concerns regarding the Family of Services program, with our new report "Wheel-Trans Users Need Choice!". Riders with disabilities may face various barriers when needing to appeal their "conditional" status in addition to having only 30 days to begin the process. Adam Cohoon says “(We) cannot and should not be forced onto crowded streetcars, subways, and buses. TTC vehicles are crowded most of the time because service was reduced, and there isn’t enough room for me to get on,”.
Transit advocates are warning thousands of seniors and people with disabilities could soon lose access to door-to-door Wheel-Trans service, if they don’t meet the right eligibility requirements. The TTC has become more accessible in recent years, but the advocacy group TTCriders told CityNews it’s nowhere near where it needs to be.
TTCriders hosted a press conference at Queen's Park alongside MPP Sarah Jama, Toronto councillor Jamaal Myers and advocates with the Toronto Seniors' Forum and Centre for Independent Living, Jane Rowan and David Meyers to say no cuts to Wheel-Trans!
