Provide Your Input to the TTC!



The TTC is doing a survey amongst its riders to determine what measures are most ‘popular’ to take in terms of its budget issues – raising fares or cutting services – here’s the link to the survey page http://www.toronto.ca/ttc/myttc.html.

My bus route is in jeopardy! I suggested congestion charging in the downtown core or tolls on freeways as a sustainable source of transit funding as well as a way to cut car use and improve air quality. However, David Miller has already said he's opposed to such a scheme. For decades our government has heavily invested in roads and neglected transit, resulting in a car-dominated culture with more traffic congestion, urban sprawl, and environmental and social degradation. This is our children's inheritance. We must change.

There have been complaints that the survey was vague, didn't ask enough questions, and appeared biased.
