TTCriders

TTCriders is a grassroots, membership-based transit advocacy organization with a focus on better public transit service in Toronto. Its stated mission is "to build a TTC that works with and for transit riders". It was founded in 2010 by a coalition of organizations, including the Toronto Environmental Alliance, Social Planning Toronto, Toronto & York Region Labour Council, ACORN, and the Canadian Federation of Students. The organization employs a combination of online campaigns, transit debates and workshops to encourage political action on local transit issues. Since October 2013, the group has lobbied the Ontario provincial government to provide increased and sustained funding for the TTC.

Activities
Transit Talks On May 15, 2013, the group hosted Transit Talks, a discussion series that introduced riders to then-incoming TTC CEO, Andy Byford. Political debates On September 15, 2014, TTCriders partnered with the Ryerson Students Union to host a transit-focused mayoral debate between candidates Doug Ford, Olivia Chow and John Tory. Tory originally accepted but withdrew less than four hours before the debate was to start. == See also ==
