This still needs to be voted on and pass at the TTC Board, City Council. Add your name today and tell City Council that you support fare capping in Toronto: .

This is something that many other cities across the world already do to great effect. It inspires people to take transit more often, and can even help avoid fare evasion. Read our full press release here: .

This would replace an expensive monthly pass, that you need to pay for upfront on the same day as your rent. Instead, every trip after a certain amount will be free!.

Thrilled to see the TTC recommend fare capping as part of the Ridership Growth Strategy, something that we have long called for as a common-sense solution to making transit more affordable!

Toronto is Canada's economic heart & most populous city, and it can't work without good public transit. Read our federal budget submission, asking the federal government to invest in critical TTC repairs, expansion, frequent service, and affordable fares. 1/2

While Doug Ford pursues an environmentally-destructive highway with a secret price tag, Toronto's transit priorities like the Waterfront East LRT and Eglinton East LRT remain unfunded. It's time to invest public transit - a real, evidence-based solution to traffic congestion.
We promised to build Highway 413 and we’re getting it done. Construction is now beginning to build the new highway, which will cut travel times between Halton, Peel and York by 30 minutes, add billions to Ontario’s economy and keep thousands of construction workers on the job.

Send a message to your City Councillor by signing our petition for stronger transit signal priority on the Finch West and Eglinton Crosstown LRTs, including prioritizing trains to cross intersections before over left-turning cars!.

Trains with hundreds of riders shouldn't get stuck waiting at red lights for a few left-turning drivers. Transit Signal Priority is just common sense! . When the $2 billion-dollar Finch West LRT opens, transit riders should get priority over a few single-occupancy cars 1/2

We hope that in the future the city will continue to take preemptive measures to prevent deaths from occurring on the TTC—such as catching up on the State of Good Repair backlog, installing ATC on Line 2, and placing platform edge doors at crowded stations.

It was because of incidents like these that Line 1 has Automatic Train Control (ATC) today, limiting the potential for stationary objects to remain undetected on the tracks.

On August 11 1995 at 6:02pm, a train on Line 1 was rear-ended by another in-between Dupont and St. Clair West. Three people were killed on that day, and thirty were sent to hospital. People were evacuated using this emergency exit.
