(Toronto, ON) – TTCriders, a membership-based transit advocacy organization, released the following statement in response to the latest pledge from a mayoral candidate to reverse service cuts:
“Reversing TTC service cuts is a top election issue for transit users. That’s why TTCriders is surveying all Mayoral candidates about their commitments to reverse cuts and how they will pay for it.
“TTCriders is also asking candidates if they will vote to implement a commercial parking levy on big malls and commercial landlords as a dedicated new funding source for TTC operations. This revenue tool could generate between $191 and $575 million per year, according to the most recent staff estimates.”
