For Information Chief Executive Officer's Report – November 2020 Update 2048.1 For Information Chief Executive Officer’s Report – November 2020 Update Date: November 16, 2020 To: TTC Board From: Chief Executive Officer Summary The Chief Executive Officer’s Report is submitted each month to the TTC Board, for information. Copies of the report are also forwarded to each City of Toronto Councillor, the Deputy City Manager, and the City Chief Financial Officer, for information. The report is also available on the TTC’s website. Financial Summary The monthly Chief Executive Officer’s Report focuses primarily on performance and service standards. There are no financial impacts associated with the Board’s receipt of this report. Equity/Accessibility Matters The TTC strives to deliver a reliable, safe, clean, and welcoming transit experience for all of its customers, and is committed to making its transit system barrier-free and accessible to all. This is at the forefront of TTC’s new Corporate Plan 2018-2022. The TTC strongly believes all customers should enjoy the freedom, independence, and flexibility to travel anywhere on its transit system. The TTC measures, for greater accountability, its progress towards achieving its desired outcomes for a more inclusive and accessible transit system that meets the needs of all its customers. This progress includes the TTC’s Easier Access Program, which is on track to making all subway stations accessible by 2025. It also includes the launch of the Family of Services pilot and improved customer service through better on-time service delivery with improved shared rides, and same day bookings to accommodate Family of Service Trips. These initiatives will help TTC achieve its vision of a seamless, barrier free transit system that makes Toronto proud. CEO’s Report – November 2020 Update Page 1 of 2 Decision History The Chief Executive Officer’s Report, which was created in 2012 to better reflect the Chief Executive Officer’s goal to completely modernize the TTC from top to bottom, was transformed to be more closely aligned with the TTC’s seven strategic objectives – safety, customer, people, assets, growth, financial sustainability, and reputation. In 2018, with the launch of the new Corporate Plan, this report has undergone progressive changes to align and reflect our reporting metrics to the TTC’s continued transformation. Issue Background For each strategic objective, updates of current and emerging issues and multi-year performance are now provided, along with a refreshed performance dashboard that reports on the customer experience. This information is intended to keep the reader completely up-to-date on the various initiatives underway at the TTC that, taken together, will help the TTC achieve its vision of a transit system that makes Toronto proud.

  • Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report 2016
    Acknowledgements We would like to acknowledge the efforts of former Metrolinx Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) members Mr. Sean Henry and Mr. Brian Moore, both of whom stepped down from the AAC in 2016. They provided valuable input into our accessibility planning efforts. We would like to welcome Mr. Gordon Ryall and Ms. Heather Willis, who both joined the Metrolinx AAC in 2015. Lastly, we would like to thank all of the Metrolinx AAC members for the important work they do as volunteers to improve the accessibility of our services. Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report: 2016 1. Introduction The 2016 Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report provides an annual update of the Metrolinx Multi-Year Accessibility Plan published in December 2012, as well as the 2015 Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report. Metrolinx, a Crown agency of the Province of Ontario under the responsibility of the Ministry of Transportation, has three operating divisions: GO Transit, PRESTO and Union Pearson Express. This Status Report, in conjunction with the December 2012 Metrolinx Multi-Year Accessibility Plan, fulfills Metrolinx’s legal obligations for 2016 under the Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ODA), to publish an annual accessibility plan; and also under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), to publish an annual status report on its multi-year plan. The December 2012 Metrolinx Multi-Year Accessibility Plan and other accessibility planning documents can be referenced on the Metrolinx website at the following link: www.metrolinx.com/en/aboutus/accessibility/default.aspx. In accordance with the AODA, it must be updated every five years. Metrolinx, including its operating divisions, remains committed to proceeding with plans to ensure AODA compliance.

  • Transit's Lost Decade
    Transit’s Lost Decade: How Paying More for Less is Killing Public Transit A report prepared by Steve Munro And The Rocket Riders Transit User Group About the Rocket Riders: The Rocket Riders Transit Users Group is made up of users and supporters of public transit in the Greater Toronto area. Our Mission is to support the efforts of the TTC and other transit authorities to provide a wide range of high quality, cost-efficient transit services during a time of massive financial cutbacks. We are concerned with public safety, public education, educating municipal policy-makers and the business community, as well as maintaining and/or increasing funding available to transit. The Rocket Riders are a caucus of the Toronto Environmental Alliance. For more information, contact: The Rocket Riders Transit Users Group c/o the Toronto Environmental Alliance 201-30 Duncan Street Toronto, ON M5V-2C3 Tel. (416) 596-0500 Fax (416) 596-0345 E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.rocketriders.org The Rocket Riders gratefully acknowledge the support of the Toronto Atmospheric Fund, Transport Canada’s Moving on Sustainable Transportation program and the Toronto Environmental Alliance Educational Foundation. Toronto’s Transit System in Crisis Toronto’s transit system is in sorry shape. A quick comparison with the year 1990 shows ridership is down nearly 10%, fares have doubled in some cases, and most importantly the quality of bus and streetcar service has markedly dropped. Serious problems have also emerged for the Wheel-Trans system. In short we are paying more and getting less. Reduced funding from the provincial and municipal governments has been the main problem in the lost decade.

  • Changes to TTC Bus Routes for Line 1 Extension
    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Changes to TTC Bus Routes for Line 1 Extension Date: May 18, 2017 To: TTC Board From: Chief Executive Officer Summary Line 1 Extension, also known as the Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension (TYSSE), is an 8.6 km rapid transit project that will extend the TTC’s Line 1 subway from Sheppard West (formerly Downsview) Station northwest to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, with six new stations. The new stations are: • Downsview Park Station • Finch West Station • York University Station • Pioneer Village Station • Highway 407 Station • Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station This report recommends changes to the existing bus routes near the new subway service in order to connect customers to the new rapid transit stations and improve their journey times. The subway extension is scheduled to open in December 2017. Bus routes along Sheppard Avenue West will have new on-street connections with Downsview Park Station. Bus routes in the Keele Avenue and Finch Avenue West area will provide new connections to the bus terminal at Finch West Station. The majority of TTC bus services at York Commons in York University will relocate to the bus terminal at Pioneer Village Station. Transit partners in York Region Transit/Viva, Brampton Transit, and GO Transit will provide new connections to the stations in York Region, at Pioneer Village Station, Highway 407 Station, and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station. The number of buses required to provide service to the residents in surrounding areas will be reduced by approximately 20 morning peak buses when the modified routes are introduced in December 2017.
