Office of the Chief Executive

As I shared earlier this week, a tentative agreement with Local 2 was reached early Monday morning. This is a fair deal that is affordable for the TTC and respectful of the important work the 650 members of Local 2 do every day to keep our system safe and our service reliable. More information will be shared with everyone after the agreement is ratified.

TTC is the greener way
​The TTC proudly recognized Earth Day on April 22. Earth Day reminds us about public transit’s important role in the fight against climate change. Taking the TTC means choosing an environmentally sustainable, affordable, and accessible way to get around the city.

The TTC pledges to continue to do all we can to fight climate change. Our Environmental Sustainability Policy commits us to decarbonize our facilities, increase biodiversity on the land we care for, and reduce our consumption and waste. The TTC’s Green Bus Program, subject to full funding, targets a revenue fleet entirely free of fossil fuels by 2040. As a climate action, this program would mean a reduction in tailpipe fleet emissions by more than 97 per cent.

Wheel-Trans Community Feedback Survey
​I want to take a quick moment to remind everyone about the 2024 Wheel-Trans Community Feedback Survey. All TTC or Wheel-Trans customers, support persons, and those who support or advocate for people with disabilities are encouraged to participate. The survey is open until April 30. For any questions about the survey or to complete the survey by phone, participants can call Wheel-Trans Customer Service at 416-393-4111. Questions can also be e-mailed to wtcs@ttc.ca.

Finally, it is my great pleasure to congratulate and thank all our co-op students who are completing their work placements today. I hope the experience and time with us peaked their interest in the vital role TTC employees play in moving our great city forward.
