  • 1989 Annual Report of the Toronto Transit Commission
    Toronto Transit Commission ANNUAL REPORT 1989 N Toronto Transit Commission To: MR. ALAN TONKS, CHAIRMAN, AND CouNCILLORS oF THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO It is with pleasure that I present the 1989 Annual Report of the Toronto Transit Commission. This was a most challenging year for the first commission composed of elected councillors. I would like to thank Alan Tonks who, as both TTC Commissioner and Chairman of Metro­ politan Toronto, brought the perspective of the Metro Corporation to the Commission's work. The Commission depends on both Metro Toronto Council and the Province of Ontario for their fmancial support and their commitment to public transit. In the fall of 1989, the TTC adopted a major policy paper, Choices for the Future, containing new initiatives for improving transit for people with disabilities and elderly people. This com­ mitment to improved access to good, reliable public transit for all our citizens will be part of all future decisions on transit line design and vehicle acquisition. Increasing public concern about the environment has thrust public transit into the forefront as the answer to the urban problems of pollution and congestion. I commend TTC Vice-Chairman Mike Colle for his proactive work in bringing environmental issues and the benefits of transit to the public's attention. Commissioner Bev Salmon chaired the committee on workplace harassment and has been instrumental in guiding the new Workplace Harassment Policy, which is being implemented in 1990. The TTC places high priority on developing a workplace in which all its employees can feel comfortable and are treated with dignity and understanding.
