worse service, the death of fare capping and overall less accountability to the people who actually rely on the TTC every day.

how transit revenue is shared across the region. That means that decisions about our TTC could be taken out of the hands of local elected officials and made at Queen’s Park instead.

For transit riders, this raises serious concerns. Bill 98 could open the door to higher fares,

Bill 98 would give the province sweeping powers to control fares,service levels and even how transit revenue is shared

How to Build a Rest Stop for Delivery Workers in a Hurry

US construction paralysis (and solution ?), in action:

Shelter for delivery workers gets $1 m in federal funding in 2021

Many of you will have seen the long lineups of people trying to catch ferries over the long weekend. What hasn’t been reported is that BC Transit drastically cut funding for special trips for events like busy ferries (or stray Taylor Swift concerts).

We will elect a new board, and discuss our advocacy priorities.
