What's the Save Our Subway motion?
If Council votes yes to the “Save Our Subway” motion,1 the City of Toronto will launch a necessary public information campaign: announcements in subway stations, ads on buses, streetcars, and subways, and public consultations in every community council district. It's exactly what we need to defend our subway. But there is no time to lose. We only have a small window before the province moves ahead with their plan. Encourage your Councillor to vote "yes" on February 26th!

Copy and paste from the points below, or add your own! I was pleased to learn about your leadership in December, when you voted to keep the TTC in Toronto's hands. Now it's time to take leadership on the next step, and ensure that Toronto residents are consulted and informed about this critical issue. This motion is urgent and needs to be voted on this week, because the province wants to introduce legislation this Spring. The negotiations for our subway have been happening behind closed doors. I urge you to vote "yes" so that residents are consulted and understand the risks of the province's plan. The Terms of Reference for the subway upload negotiations included potential public consultations. Please vote "yes" on February 26 so that consultations become a reality.
