  • Toronto Transit Commission
    ARNNUAL EPORT 2003 2003 ANNUAL REPORT Toronto Transit Commission As at December 31, 2003 Chair Vice-Chair Howard Moscoe Joe Mihevc Commissioners Mayor Brian Ashton Bas Balkissoon Sandra Bussin Adam Giambrone Peter Li Preti David Miller David Shiner Letter from the Chair DATE: June, 2004 TO: MAYOR DAVID MILLER AND COUNCILLORS OF THE CITY OF TORONTO It is with pride that I submit the 2003 Annual Report for the Toronto Transit Commission (the “TTC”). 2003 was yet another year filled with challenges for the City’s public transit authority. The year began with a Commission-approved, standard 10-cent fare increase and proportionate increases to all other fare media. The roller coaster ride took off from there. The City of Toronto faced some difficulties in 2003, and the TTC felt them every step of the way – Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) hurt tourism, West Nile Virus kept people indoors, and the blackout in August stopped everything in sight, including the economy. Throughout it all, the TTC workforce did their best to keep us on the move – proof positive that the Commission’s greatest asset is its employees. They stepped up and turned each negative story into a positive one. In March, the SARS crisis caused a significant dip in ridership. The Commission estimated a loss of about 3.5 million riders as a result of the outbreak, which lasted several months. A further 1 million rides were lost due to the extended economic slowdown. However, the excellent TTC service proved to be a big hit with many of the 400,000 Rolling Stones fans attending a special SARS benefit concert at Downsview Park on July 30.

    Item 6 AU6.9g For Action Draft Consolidated Financial Statements of Toronto Transit Commission for the Year Ended December 31, 2019 Date: June 17, 2020 To: TTC Board Summary This item was considered by the TTC Audit & Risk Management Committee on June 3, 2020 and was adopted without amendments. Contact Alex Cassar – Director – Budgets, Costing and Financial Reporting (416) 393-3647 [email protected] Draft Consolidated Financial Statements of Toronto Transit Commission for the Year Ended December 31, 2019 Page 1 of 1 For Action Draft Consolidated Financial Statements of Toronto Transit Commission for the Year Ended December 31, 2019 Date: June 3, 2020 To: TTC Audit & Risk Management Committee From: Interim Chief Financial Officer Summary The TTC is required to prepare audited annual financial statements under Public Sector Accounting Standards and to forward them to the City. The 2019 accounting surplus is $485.6 million and is comprised mainly of the value of capital asset additions, partially offset by depreciation of assets in use and the loss recorded on the Provincial Expansion Project upload. Operating activities do not generally contribute to the accounting surplus or shortfall as the operating expenses are funded in full by operating revenues and subsidies received. Recommendations It is recommended that the TTC Audit and Risk Management Committee: 1. Approve this report; and 2. Forward a copy of this report to the TTC Board and to the City Clerk for submission to the next City Audit Committee meeting. Implementation Points This report requires approval at the June 3, 2020 TTC Audit & Risk Management Committee Meeting to ensure timely submission to the June 17, 2020 TTC Board Meeting and then to the City Audit Committee Meeting of the City of Toronto.
