Dear Friends and Neighbours
04/23/2009
Dear Friends and Neighbours,
As I look back at my previous years’ newsletters in preparing to write this letter, it is so satisfying to see how many of the projects that were in their earliest phases of planning and development in past years have come to fruition.

Ridership Growth Strategy positions TTC for economic recovery
03/23/2009
Historically, public transit ridership has closely mimicked the trajectory of economic growth. The TTC reached its all time ridership peak just before the recession of the 1990s. As the economy has recovered from that recession over the past 15 years, ridership has recovered as well and TTC has now reached the same ridership, with more than 465 million rides in 2008, as the previous peak in 1988.

Community our strength in difficult times
02/17/2009
While our neighbours to the south have been at the centre of an economic storm for months now, we here in the City of Toronto are bracing for its worst effects. All orders of government are investing in our infrastructure and social services in an effort to ward off the worst effects of the recession. Here in Toronto, we will continue to build public transit infrastructure, expand affordable housing and prepare Toronto to grow in the economy of the future.
