������������������������ Riders pay over 70% of the TTC’s operating costs through our fares! This is the highest rate in North America! This isn’t fair!

���������������

��������������� In November 2010, TEA and TTCriders released a report on the environmental benefits of the TTC, with key recommendations for the TTC and the new Council.

���������������

���������������

������������������ ������ • On Feb 2nd – an official “snow day” in Toronto - more than 100 TTC riders went to City Hall to speak up for keeping needed bus routes and demand the TTC build more transit, not less” • This was by all accounts the biggest and longest TTC meeting in their history!

����� �� �����������

����� ���� ������������� ����� Since December 1, 2010 when Mayor • Ford announced he wanted “Transit City” dead, we have knocked on more than 50,000 doors throughout our City and engaged thousands of Torontonians on important TTC issues.

����� ���� ������������� ����� • So far more than 15,000 emails have been sent to the Mayor, City Councillors, Toronto MPPs, and other decision-makers – demanding for more and better transit for our City and asking our elected leaders not to abandon improvements to our public transit network .

����� ���� ������������� ����� • Because of YOUR efforts, we have now collected more than 20,000 letters for our elected reps demanding more and better public transit for all corners of our City !
