The Ontario government, working in partnership with its federal and municipal partners, has made historic transit investments to ensure economic, environmental and social benefits for the public and business. However, a perfect storm has been brewing: customer demands for affordable fares and reliable service are at an all-time high while capital and operating costs are soaring — and the current US tariff war could drive up expenditures as well.

To reduce the possibility of a “downward spiral” in service and ridership, the Ontario Transit Funding Forum will analyze and propose a range of revenue tools and policies that support efficient operations and increase passenger trips in the context of modal competition, affordable housing and non-transport priorities. Expert speakers and delegates representing government, business, academia and NGOs will share their perspectives so we build a solid foundation for transit funding in Ontario. Further details can be found at https://transportfutures.ca/transitfunding. Seating is limited and early bird rates end on July 15.
