TTC |
The Toronto Transit Commission moves 465 million people every year - about 1.6 million riders every weekday. The TTC is the third largest public transit system in North America servicing some 4.5 million people in the Greater Toronto Area, with a network of subways, streetcars, buses and Wheel Trans, a specialized service for people who require accessible transportation. The TTC is committed to meeting the growing needs of the region with subway and light rail expansion, carrying an additional 175 million riders by 2021.
Board responsibilities
The Commission is responsible for the consolidation, co-ordination and planning of all forms of local passenger transportation within the urban area of Toronto, except for railways incorporated under federal and provincial statutes and taxis.
The Commission's functions are to construct, maintain and operate a local passenger transportation system, and to establish new passenger transportation services where required. The Commission may also operate parking lots in connection with the transit system, and may enter into an agreement with municipalities or persons situated within 40 kilometres of Toronto to operate a local transportation service.
Term of office
City Council appoints the TTC Commissioners every 2 years (at the start of a new 4-year term of Council and at the mid-point in the term).
Composition
To be determined.
Meetings
