We hate to see it. Transit riders deserve better.
This month, the TTC reported that only *61%* of streetcars system-wide arrived on-schedule.

Surface transit can be more reliable, and can move more people, if we do it right.

Except Budget 2025 proposes cutting funding from the Canada Public Transit Fund towards a more generalized fund, leaving less money on the table for important transit projects and state-of-good-repair 👎
This a step backwards for faster commutes and achieving our climate goals. Not good!

To build Canada strong, we’re building strong communities.
Budget 2025 invests more than $50 billion in new roads, transit, hospitals, colleges, and universities — to empower you with faster commutes, better services, and more opportunities.

The federal budget is likely quite bad for transit. They've rebranded the Canada Public Transit Fund and rolled it into a more generic "Build Communities Strong Fund"
If 'Transit’ was removed from the name, we have to assume that it isn't a priority for this government. Stay tuned for more updates

Great news! The first sections of dedicated transit lanes are being installed on Bathurst Street this week. Thank you to everyone who spoke up, sent emails, or volunteered for fast & reliable transit.
We know that Bathurst doesn't end at Bloor - and we'll keep pushing to expand transit lanes north.

Oh! Out of the blue, a motion from chair Myers to conduct a full scale review and scale up of transit signal priority in an attempt to speed up streetcars! You love to see it!!

TTCriders volunteers are out at City Hall today to speak up for transit signal priority for a more reliable Spadina Streetcar.
Councillors on the Infrastructure and Environment Committee are voting on whether or not to look into prioritizing signal phases for streetcars before left-turning cars.

Today's announcement by Doug Ford on the so-called "Fighting Delays, Building Faster" Act is yet another attempt to interfere with Toronto's streets and the way we get around, opening the path for the province to ban dedicated transit lanes.

TTCriders volunteers were chatting with riders about fare capping and petitioning this evening at Broadview Station!
What we heard: riders aren't really buying the monthly pass anymore, and they find that taking the TTC can really add up over the course of a month!

Everyone deserves to feel safe on the TTC.
That means a care-based, non-enforcement approach to safety.
That's why we're happy to see a plan to roll-out Toronto Community Crisis Workers on the subway!
City Council is voting on this plan tomorrow - send a message: ttcriders.ca/tccs

the fact that 19 people took significant time out of their day to come speak on this, many of whom lugged around big homemade wayfinding signs to city hall, is a testament to how much torontonians care for + want to see a better city

i made a rare city hall appearance today to talk about the value of wayfinding and to shine light on the lacking state of TTC bus stop signs.
a group of us successfully pushed the TTC board to advance the agency's first-ever wayfinding strategy! 🚏

Congratulations to Neethan Shan! We look forward to working with him to improve transit in Scarborough Rouge Park.
Several prominent candidates campaigned on removing bus lanes. Transit riders pay attention. We vote. Opposing transit priorities is not a winning strategy.
