The item passed! We’d like to shout out deputy mayor @ausmalik.bsky.social for moving a motion to include her ward in the priority measures!
Next steps is a vote at city council, where we hope that even more of the line will be included.

Riders spoke passionately about how painfully slow service is on this and other streetcar routes, with many bringing up the Streetcar Summit we just held on Sunday. If over 200 people show up to find solutions to our beleaguered network on a weekend, you know there’s a problem with it.

We were at Toronto and East York Community Council speaking in favour of transit priority measures on the Dundas streetcar line! These measure included parking/stopping/left turn restrictions. Not quite priority dedicated lanes but baby steps! We’ll take what we can get.

There's two more days to speak up against cuts to federal transit funding.
No such thing as "Canada Strong" without transit linking our communities.
Tell the Carney government to protect and expand the Canada Public Transit Fund and fund transit operations for more affordable & frequent service ⬇️

Congrats to Montréal where the next phase of their REM metro system opened today! Work started in 2017. Now 50-km of new transit is open for riders! 🎊
Meanwhile, a certain 19-km LRT in Toronto has been under construction since 2011 and there's no opening date in sight... 😤
Public Inquiry now!

Transit rider @nottaylorx.bsky.social shared this video of a side-by-side comparison of a tram in Amsterdam and a streetcar in Toronto departing a stop.
Guess which one has fully active signal priority? A phase before left-turning cars?

There is no new funding for public transit, no operating funding to ensure buses and trains continue to get people to work on time, and no commitment to double or accelerate the Canada Public Transit Fund despite Liberal MPs pledging to do so earlier this year!

Great news! The first sections of dedicated transit lanes are being installed on Bathurst Street this week. Thank you to everyone who spoke up, sent emails, or volunteered for fast & reliable transit.
We know that Bathurst doesn't end at Bloor - and we'll keep pushing to expand transit lanes north.

TTCriders volunteers are out at City Hall today to speak up for transit signal priority for a more reliable Spadina Streetcar.

The "Fighting Delays, Building Faster" Act, appears to give the provincial government authority to ban any use of road space that takes away a lane of traffic - including bike lanes, and could include transit lanes, street festivals, and curbside patios:

Today's announcement by Doug Ford on the so-called "Fighting Delays, Building Faster" Act is yet another attempt to interfere with Toronto's streets and the way we get around, opening the path for the province to ban dedicated transit lanes.

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

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!
City Council is voting on this plan tomorrow - send a message: ttcriders.ca/tccs
