Climate action, affordability, and accessibility means investing in good public transit.

We will never grow ridership with more route cuts and fare increases. We can do better, we deserve better.

The last thing our already-failing transit system needs is another year of budgetary neglect.

Join us on the 21st and 29th for our transit phone banks to tell Ottawa residents to take action and oppose a fare hike and service cuts: horizonottawa.ca/events

From the Ottawa Citizen 'Lansdowne plan's biggest failure is the lack of affordable housing.' Residents have every right to be angry. It was an opportunity to let our pretty words become tangible actions, and we failed. ottawacitizen.com/opinion/column… via @ottawacitizen

Cutting service AND staff because they 'can't afford' to make transit better. Meanwhile there's $50M in the road widening budget and an extra $13M going to cops, all dwarfed by Lansdowne!

At yesterday's Transit Commission budget meeting, when asked for $8 transit levy increase to avoid raising fares, Tim Tierney said taxpayers were tapped out & voted no. No wonder after Council voted $419million to help out OSEG (a private for-profit sports company). Priorities!😖

After boasting about how many hires OC Transpo has been making at yesterday's meeting, they are now proposing major layoffs along with a massive service cut and fare hike.

How in any way, shape or form does this bring transit riders back to our system?

If like us you’re stuck on this page waiting to register a kid to swimming lessons in Ottawa and you’re worried classes are filling up while you’re in the wait line and you’re also wondering why even the time zone can’t be right… remember that Sutcliffe promised to fix this.

Members of the Transit Commission voted today to recommend that City Council approve more austerity and its consequences - cuts to service and a fare hike.

Fight back against transit cuts by sending an email to your councillor: horizonottawa.ca/transit_demand…

Accepting an budget that raises fares & cuts services is a recipe for more declines in transit ridership (already well below 2011 peak). What are Council's priorities? Pays lip service to promoting transit but won't put $ where mouth is? Final vote next month.
