Take Action on Unfair Fare Hikes!
On November 17th, 2009 the Toronto Transit Commission voted for an 11% increase in fares, tokens, and the Metropass. That means fares and tokens will go up by 25 cents, and the Metropass by $12 starting in January. Would anyone at City Hall recommend an 11% increase on property tax in one year? Never!
No other major transit system in North America expects its riders to pay for over 70% of the system’s cost.
We are calling on the TTC, the City and the Provincial Government to commit to fair funding for the transit system Torontians need. If you are tired of being taken for granted, send a message to the TTC, the Premier, and the Mayor’s office right now. Click here to see a sample message, or write your own.
Let’s make sure they know we don’t like unfair fare hikes!

Get your Councillor to “Dig Conservation, Not Holes!”
|
Want to make sure we don’t dig holes in the precious countryside surrounding the GTA to get the gravel we need to renew our roads, buildings, and bridges? Contact your local Councillor and ask them to adopt TEA’s recommendations to practice the 3Rs for gravel use and help save the countryside we and our rural neighbours depend on. |
