TRANSIT - TTC - THE SURVEY RESULTS

Public Transit Coalition - Municipal Election Survey

HIGHLIGHTS of Ken Wood's TAKE ON TRANSIT:

* BUILD TRANSIT CITY: time is short, no more debates This is a starting point.

* FREE PUBLIC TRANSIT. We need vision now for this to be a reality in 25 years,

* ESSENTIAL SERVICE is what Public Transit (TTC) should be. PUBLIC not private control.

* TTC Chair should be a separate, elected position requiring skills and experience going into the job, similar to how the USA elects judges and sheriffs. Reports to Mayor and City Council.

* BUILD SUBWAYS - a few kilometers a year, every year. 25 year ongoing planning.

* FAIR FUNDING: 20% City, 40% Provincial, 40% Federal. NO USER FEES. Makes environmental winners of us all. Lets get serious about our values and the future of our children.
