This is largely due to the businesses and entrepreneurs who create jobs and to the women and men who get up each morning to go to the plant, or the office, or another place of work to make Ontario a more prosperous province. At the same time, the government has made strategic investments to support growth. Enhanced education, skills and training, new infrastructure, a competitive business environment and support for startups and small businesses are helping create good jobs. On the surface, the numbers tell a positive story: Our economy has outperformed those of all G7 nations since 2014; Our unemployment rate, at 5.5 per cent, is the lowest it has been in almost 20 years; and Last year alone, 500 net new jobs were created, on average, each day in Ontario, and they were mostly full‐time.

    Improving Transit Service Options to Major Music Festivals

    Attachment 1 For Action Improving Transit Service to Major Music Festivals Date: May 8, 2018 To: TTC Board From: Chief Operating Officer Summary The purpose of this report is to respond to the Board’s request to report on how the TTC plans and co-ordinates service to special events, including major music festivals. Recommendations It is recommended that the Board: 1. Receive the report for information; and 2. Direct staff to forward this report to Councillor Mike Layton, City of Toronto Transportation Services, Toronto Music Advisory Council, Exhibition Place, Ontario Place and Metrolinx for information. Financial Summary This report has no financial impact. The Chief Financial Officer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information. Equity/Accessibility Matters The TTC has made significant progress in providing barrier-free, accessible transit services for all customers. Presently, all TTC bus services are operated using accessible, low-floor buses. New low-floor streetcars are currently being deployed and all routes will have accessible streetcars by 2019. All subway stations will be accessible by 2025. By providing public transit services to special events the TTC encourages and supports more spontaneous trip-making, which is an important part of making the conventional system attractive to potential new customers, such as Wheel-Trans registrants who are taking advantage of the TTC’s Family of Services, and to all travellers in Toronto. This Improving Transit Service to Major Music Festivals Page 1 of 5 supports the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) objectives of more- spontaneous travel options for customers with disabilities, and the City’s Poverty Reduction Strategy of making transit more accessible and attractive to everyone.
