TTCriders and Small Change Fund are hosting a six-month training program for transit riders to build their leadership and community organizing skills. This is an opportunity to meet other transit users, learn and strategize about how we can win better transit, and practice organizing for change in your neighbourhood. The program involves six group learning sessions, with a practicum component. The program is free and scholarships are provided, but space is limited.
Toronto has spent years dealing with the consequences of underfunded public transit. Aging infrastructure, delayed repairs and subway slow zones have all placed pressure on a system that millions of Torontonians rely on. These problems cannot be fixed overnight and require sustained investment in the workers, vehicles, tracks and infrastructure that keep transit moving.
