Which candidates have promised to protect Wheel-Trans service?
To cut costs, the TTC is restricting thousands of disabled people and seniors who rely on Wheel-Trans from receiving full "door-to-door" service, and forcing them onto conventional TTC streetcars, subways, and buses for parts of their trips. The TTC has an internal target to restrict 50% of current users from full "door-to-door" service.* Trips on the conventional TTC have already gotten more crowded and less safe because Toronto's last mayor cut transit service and people who are not able to use the conventional system will lose independence and become more isolated. Wheel-Trans users need choice, just like people who voluntarily use the TTC! TTCriders is calling on the provincial government to expand funding to Wheel-Trans.
