Transit riders show up! We met at Dufferin and Bloor today, along with @TOenviro and local Bathurst business leaders to speak loudly in favour of dedicated transit lanes.

Transit riders win for safety! City Council voted today to approve the expansion of Toronto Community Crisis Workers in the subway for a safer, more inclusive TTC - after >500 people wrote-in to their councillor with our email tool! Thanks to all who emailed their councillor!

Men achieve greatness when they enjoy failure. Great men are masters at failure. They stand defiant. They offer themselves two extreme ultimatums: improvement or death. They will succeed because they have absolutely nothing to lose & everything to gain. - Theron A. Bassett II

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

Send a message to the Mayor and City Councillors - tell them you want to see a safer, more inclusive transit system, starting by implementing TCCS workers on the subway! Send your email: https://t.co/jMwfZxClJU

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! But it won't happen unless City Council approves it tomorrow. 1/2

And they do!! Wayfinding strategy passes!!!! Now the hard part: implementing it. We’ll keep you posted.

Last up is Chloe, one of the co-leads of our wayfinding campaign! She also supports the item and urges the board to vote for it!

Naomi and Natalie are up next - both volunteers behind the King Street wayfinding makeover. They present some of the beautiful signage that they used, and urge for alphanumeric exit signage to make it quick and easy to find your way in and out of transit!

Alex Salton is up next and asks for the approval of the wayfinding strategy. He urges for many specific improvements to digital and physical wayfinding and information to get Toronto caught up with other cities.

Rayah Ladak is up next, and urges for this wayfinding strategy. She took her Grandmother on Line 2, and confused the Kennedy and Kipling trains because there was no westbound or eastbound signage. As a result, her 84-year old grandma had to climb back up the stairs - tiring!

Satadru is up! He raises the issue of missing signs at Bloor GO - no signs pointing to Bloor Street! Without good signage, it's difficult to transfer to Dundas West Station. He urges for a new wayfinding standard.

Brice is up next - one of the designers behind TTCriders King Street wayfinding makeover. Hi undergrad thesis was digital wayfinding for Metrolinx. The number one comment he got on his thesis? The TTC needs this - hundreds of people have stories of getting lost.

Adam Cohoon is up next. Adam urges for a wayfinding strategy, with robust consultation with riders of all abilities to ensure the standard is rock-solid. Adam mentions that this is a popular issue and many in the community want this.

Jennifer Conroy is up next - she urges the TTC to adopt this wayfinding strategy and enter the digital age so that it can be more accessible to all. She urges for accessibility improvements like signage with larger text sizes so it's easier to read.

Andrew and August went together because we’re running out of time! Andrew thanked the TTCriders team for making wayfinding a priority, August talked about their experience in Vancouver and how much better their wayfinding is in general.

Azad tells a story of helping someone utterly confounded about where to go at Bathurst station and how it could be so much better. Supports a wayfinding strategy too!

It’s Nicholas! He also supports better wayfinding and thanks the board for taking this step, urging their support.

Ahmed has a very recent story of inaccurate information as recently as this weekend at Nuit Blanche. Says the wayfinding strategy is key to making the TTC the world class system it deserves to be.

Fern up next with their amazing sign (that they helped design!!). Joins the call for better way finding system-wide.

GO JOE! Who outs himself as the architect of the TTCriders wayfinding action at King Station back in April. Joe has been co-leading the charge witn us for better signage, and honestly this strategy wouldn’t be happening without his work.

@ausmalik We have arrived at way finding! After a staff presentation on the proposed strategy, we’re off to the races of deputations! Up first is Adam Rogers who says it’s great but too slow, let’s get exit numbers now as a first step.
