Toronto Transit Commission (TTC)

We’re proud to be a part of CUTA’s first national documentary On the Front Line: Keeping Transit Safe. This documentary sheds a light on transit safety from the perspective of our front-line workers, and how agencies are addressing growing safety challenges.   To watch the full feature, visit: https://lnkd.in/ghya55dw   #TransitSafety #FrontLineHeroes

A huge thank you to the 120 founders and innovators who joined us for TTC x Elevate Idea Jams this week! Together, we explored bold ideas to reimagine the future of transit - fueling conversations that could shape how Toronto moves in the years ahead.

Commissioners approved the TTC Wayfinding Strategy, which redefines how customers navigate Toronto’s transit system by transforming wayfinding from a static signage approach into a dynamic, multi-sensory, and integrated experience. Delivering the Strategy is subject to funding of between $173 million and $210 million. Commissioners received a status update on the TTC-Metrolinx Master E-Fare Collection Outsourcing Agreement. Commissioners authorized the release of the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) Peer Review of the TTC’s subway and streetcar assets and maintenance programs after consideration of the management response on November 3. Commissioners approved a report with recommendations for publicly honouring the service and contributions of war and peacekeeping veterans. Commissioners passed a motion requesting that the Leslie Barns streetcar carhouse be named after former Toronto Mayor David Miller to commemorate his contributions to delivering better transit for all Torontonians. The next scheduled TTC Board meeting will be on Monday, November 3, 2025.

October’s Women’s History Month and “The Women Who Move Us.” From the trailblazing operators during World War II to today’s changemakers, we honour the remarkable women who have shaped our history and continue to lead us forward. Thank you to the women of the TTC who inspire us every day.

Today marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day – a time to honour residential school survivors and reflect on our collective responsibility towards reconciliation. Throughout the year, we’ve collaborated with the ATU113 United Indigenous Council and several Indigenous community agencies to raise awareness and drive meaningful change across our organization. You may see some of our Transit Operators wearing an orange shirt over their uniforms to show their support. Every shirt worn is a symbol of hope, reconciliation and a commitment to building a better future.
