2024.EX11.8

Background

“While the majority of transit planning efforts in the City of Toronto are focused on higher-order transit initiatives, bus and streetcar routes provide transit services across most parts of the city as complements to, and extensions of, the higher-order transit network. Currently, 70% of all TTC journeys include a surface transit trip. Improving the reliability of bus and streetcar transit supports the City's priority of keeping Toronto moving. A reliable surface transit network is essential to enable people to move around the city and access employment, business/retail, education and recreational/cultural facilities, particularly for Neighbourhood Improvement Areas and equity-deserving communities.”
