  • Racial Equity Impact Assessment of TTC Enforcement Activities
    2052.5 For Action Racial Equity Impact Assessment of TTC Enforcement Activities Date: April 14, 2021 To: TTC Board From: Chief Diversity and Culture Officer Summary In December 2020, the TTC committed to a 10-Point Action Plan to build greater diversity and inclusion. Acknowledging a history of systemic racism and bias, the TTC continues to focus on implementing targeted initiatives to identify, address and prevent systemic racism and create an organization that is inclusive for customers and employees. This work is supported through the TTC’s commitment to a system wide Anti-Racism Strategy. As noted in the December 2020 report to the TTC Board, the Third-Party Review of Data in Several Key Areas, (Action Item 3) is critical for systemic change. In 2019, the TTC retained Dr. Akwasi Owusu-Bempah and Dr. Scot Wortley, researchers with the University of Toronto, to conduct an independent review of the historical customer data derived from the TTC’s Fare Inspector and Special Constable Service activities (the Racial Equity Impact Assessment). Their assessment and inquiry employs a variety of research and investigative techniques intended to: • Identify racial disparities in key enforcement outcomes; • Determine the causes of these disparities; and • Identify appropriate measures for reform. Having completed their Phase One review, the researchers found that between 2008 and 2018, both Black and Indigenous people were over-represented in TTC enforcement incidents, and in both TTC charges and cautions. Reference to enforcement activities includes cautions and charges related to fare inspection, and safety and security incidents. The findings further support the critical need for the TTC’s ongoing work to identify, prevent and address racism, anti-Black racism and anti-Indigenous racism, in the workplace and in the delivery of services, and to build trust with Black, Indigenous and racialized communities.

  • TTC Special Constable Status in the Regional Municipality of York
    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED TTC Special Constable Status in the Regional Municipality of York Date: November 13, 2017 To: TTC Board From: Chief Executive Officer Summary As the first TTC subway line to cross the City of Toronto boundary, the Line 1 extension will provide a critical extension for the existing subway system across the municipal boundary between the City of Toronto and The Regional Municipality of York (York Region). The TTC will continue to operate this line as part of its current service. An operational Memorandum of Understanding was negotiated on December 15, 2008, between TTC and York Region Transit (YRT) whereby the TTC is responsible for law enforcement and security in York Region at underground subway stations. TTC Enforcement staff will work co-operatively with YRT/Viva Enforcement staff at the new stations to ensure adequate safety and security of the facilities, our employees and our customers both above and below ground. In 2010, a joint services agreement provided YRT/Viva Special Constables with enforcement powers as they pertain to YRT/Viva operations within the City of Toronto. A new agreement between the TTC and the York Regional Police Services Board (YRPS Board) recognizes the need for adequate and effective powers and authorities to ensure TTC Transit Enforcement Officers have the ability and tools to perform their functions while also ensuring accountability. In support of York Regional Police Service (YRPS) operations, the proposed authorities will allow TTC Transit Enforcement Officers to deal effectively and efficiently with any issues that arise as a result of their duties and respond to TTC emergencies with an objective to minimize service disruptions that can result in significant public safety issues, and transit and traffic gridlock.

The TTC is pleased to have partnered with the City of Toronto’s Confronting Anti-Black Racism Unit in its work to develop a system-wide Anti-Racism Strategy, which began with the adoption of the Toronto Action Plan to Confront Anti-Black Racism. The TTC is committed to learning more about the experiences of Toronto’s diverse Black, Indigenous, and racialized communities when taking transit.

This report provides a status update on the TTC’s work to implement a system-wide Anti-Racism Strategy, which includes building awareness through learning and development initiatives across the organization and collaborative work with the City’s Confronting Anti-Black Racism Unit to review TTC Special Constable and Revenue Protection policies and practices with an anti-Black racism analysis tool.
