In this issue, we resume our efforts to bring attention to the safety issues of other ATU workers, as well. Let me be clear. Privatization is about lower wages, no pensions, less health care and inferior transit. We at the International can help Locals that want to fight, but Local officers must involve their members in the fight in order to win. And, also, if members don’t engage riders, it’s a lot harder to win. Working people need to remember that it’s not just in paying dues that we strengthen our Union. It’s in building our presence in the community, and getting riders to actively support us that these fights are won.

  • Reassessing Public Transportation in a Post-Pandemic World
    Reassessing Public Transportation in a Post-Pandemic World Jeffrey Casello, Professor of Transportation Planning and Engineering, University of Waterloo William Towns, MES Planning, Region of Waterloo (Grand River Transit) Adam Fraser, MSc Civil & Environmental Engineering, Town of the Blue Mountains Readers interested in more information on this report are encouraged to contact the authors: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Introduction Following a stretch of disinvestment in the postwar period, municipalities and regions around the world, but particularly in North America, have been actively re-investing in public transportation since the turn of the 21st century in order to achieve a variety of public goals. Specifically, this renewed emphasis on transit has aimed to: - Improve social equity by providing low-cost, effective access to a wider array of economic opportunities than might otherwise be available to all households, as well as quality-of- life-enhancing activities; - Decrease the energy and carbon intensity of personal travel and contribute to climate change mitigation efforts; - Influence land use to generate more compact, higher-density development that ultimately reduces the total need for and cost of travel (among other public utilities); - Lessen the negative environmental impacts of automobile-oriented transportation infrastructure and operations. The global pandemic stemming from the novel coronavirus (or COVID-19) has caused significant disruption to life in general and municipal service delivery in particular throughout 2020. While much remains unknown about the virus, it has become clear that COVID-19, like other socially- transmitted public health threats, is (in the absence of a vaccine) best mitigated by maintaining physical distance between individuals and avoiding mass gatherings at which illness may be transmitted widely.

  • Appendix a Burlington Transit Business Plan Update.Docx
    Appendix A: Transit’s Five-Year Business Plan Update Report: TR-03-19 This is a summary of the Burlington Transit Five-Year Business Plan peer review, vision and growth plan initiatives. The Business Plan document will be based on the details in this summary, with a focus on the implementation of the growth plan initiatives, including their phasing and financial impacts. Dillon Consulting requests the City of Burlington Council provide feedback on these sections, so that any changes may be incorporated into the final Business Plan. 1. Introduction The 2020 – 2024 Burlington Transit Business Plan will guide the implementation of transit service improvements over the next five years. The Business Plan starts with a policy framework that defines a clear direction for Burlington Transit, and clear steps on how to get there. Burlington Transit is working on a vision statement that will be part of the final Five-Year Business Plan. It is important to note that a Business Plan does not provide details service or operational planning. The primary purpose of the plan is to ensure individual strategies, projects and activities are aligned and contributing to the Burlington Transit’s vision and policy objectives. This includes prioritizing and staging key decisions to fit within the City’s financial guidelines. The Business Plan is also an important communication tool for Burlington Transit that will clearly set out steps required to move towards the long-term direction of the City. Over the next five-years, the Business Plan will form the guiding document in which all other operational decisions and financial budgets should be built around.

  • Repowered Feminist Analysis of Parks and Recreation
    Repowered Feminist Analysis of Parks and Recreation A Thesis submitted to Southern Utah University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Professional Communication December 2018 By Bailee M. Bahr Southern Utah University Thesis Committee: Kevin Stein, PhD, Chair I certify that I have read and viewed this project and that, in my opinion, it is satisfactory in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Master of Professional Communication. Repowered Feminist Analysis 1 Kevin Stein __________________________________ Kevin Stein, Ph.D., Capstone Chair Matthew Barton __________________________________ Matthew Barton, Ph.D., MAPC Graduate Director Abstract Repowered Feminist Analysis 2 This paper analyzes the television show Parks and Recreation in order to find principles of Foss and Foss’ (2009) characteristics of repowered feminism. This paper aims to discover if Leslie Knope represents a new form of feminism, what characteristics specifically that she represents, and if these qualities contribute to a freer, less oppressed Leslie Knope. The analysis examines three episodes of the show and uses feminist rhetorical criticism to analyze the findings. I found that repowered feminism applies both to a feminist’s concerns with feminist issues and the applicability of repowered feminism to all types of problem solving. Knope, whether focusing directly on feminist issues or on the various obstacles she faces while doing her job, is usually presented as more successful when she implements the characteristics of repowered feminism. Keywords: parks and recreation, repowered feminism, pop culture Acknowledgements A massive hug and kiss to my adorable husband who encouraged me to finish my thesis in spite of the plethora of excuses.

This report, and the majority of research included within it, was completed primarily between September 2019 and March 2020 – prior to the novel coronavirus pandemic affecting local economies and transit revenue across Canada. While efforts have been made to include relevant announcements by Canadian transit agencies since that time, specifically as they relate to electric buses, many investment decisions and funding programs related to municipal green infrastructure deployments may change this year as a result of the financial crisis unfolding in cities across the country.

  • C.23 - Cw Info
    APRIL 14, 2015 Page 1 of 93 11. C.23 - CW INFO FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 25, 2015 Pettapiece presents Network Southwest plan to transport minister (Queen’s Park) – When it comes to improved local transportation options, Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece wants to get the province on board. Today in the legislature, Pettapiece presented Steven Del Duca, Ontario’s transportation minister, with a copy of the Network Southwest plan unveiled March 18 in St. Marys. “I explained to the minister how important this is to many in our community,” said Pettapiece. “He was very receptive,” he added. The MPP also wrote to the minister on behalf of the 86 people who signed postcards to support the Network Southwest plan. He presented all the postcards directly to the minister along with a full copy of the plan. The postcards state: “High quality intercity transportation, based on rail and bus, is a necessity of any modern nation. Southwestern Ontario has a particular need, due to high road congestion, population density and diverse economic activity.” They also call for a definitive study on the concept plan as outlined by Network Southwest. Pettapiece has written and spoken many times about the importance of improved transportation options – and, in particular, the need to extend GO transit service through Perth-Wellington. Last year the MPP took the extra step of submitting an Order Paper question on the Premier’s stated intention of extending GO transit service to our riding. Pettapiece was not pleased by the response, which made no mention of rural transportation challenges, focusing instead on the government’s promises for the Greater Toronto-Hamilton area.
