TTCriders present at Budget Town Hall
TTCriders present at Budget Town Hall
TTCriders spoke to residents of Ward 29 (Toronto-Danforth) at their Budget Town Hall at the East York Civic Centre on January 7, 2013. Councillor Mary Fragedakis invited TTCriders, along with the Toronto Arts Council and Social Planning Toronto, to give presentations on how the upcoming budget will affect various city services. Two members of the TTCriders Steering Committee spoke briefly on issues facing transit today, and what the upcoming budget means for TTC users. Residents and a member of the media were curious about the recent cut to the TTC Wheel-Trans budget that has left 800 dialysis patients without long-term guaranteed transportation to their appointments, and also about transit funding from other levels of government.
