Notice of Appointment – Service Delivery Group

I am pleased to announce a number of staff position changes within the Service Delivery Group.

Orest Kobylansky, Head of Bus Transportation, has been seconded to work on the Computer Aided Dispatch/Automated Vehicle Locator (CAD/AVL) program. The successful introduction of CAD/AVL presents the largest opportunity ever to Service Delivery Group. It is our top priority for the modernization of bus and streetcar operations, bringing us in-line with current international best practices.

Once complete, CAD/AVL will improve the quality and reliability of our service and become the cornerstone of the bus and streetcar service delivery model. The program will propel us along towards achieving our vision of a transit system that makes Toronto proud.

Kirsten Watson, Senior Manager – Wheel-Trans, will be seconded to the position as Head of Bus Transportation (Acting), responsible for the day-to-day delivery of service for Bus Transportation.

Eve Wiggins, Group Station Manager, within the Station Division will temporarily act as Senior Manager – Wheel-Trans, responsible for the day-to-day operations of the TTC’s accessible transit service for an up to a four-month period. We will be posting for this temporary assignment shortly.

Your co-operation and support to Orest, Kirsten and Eve is very much appreciated.
