Dear Ms. Wong:

Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the TTC's 2000 Service Plan.

This report contains recommendations for transit service improvements in 2000. These service changes are designed to make transit service in Toronto better by reducing people's walking distance and travel time when using the TTC. The proposals for the service changes originated with city councillors, TTC customers, and TTC staff. The report also contains: a financial review of every TTC service, evaluations of proposals for service changes which could not be recommended, and post-implementation reviews of service changes which had been on trial.

The Commission has established a period of 10 weeks for consultation by city councillors on the recommendations in the 2000 Service Plan. We have sent a copy of the report to every city councillor, so that they may have any discussions they wish within the neighbourhoods they represent. We have asked the councillors to provide their comments to the TTC by no later than November 10, 1999.

The Commission will consider this report again, along with the results of the consultation, at its meeting of December 8, 1999 and will, at that time, make final decisions on whether the recommended service changes will be made.

The foregoing is forwarded to the Planning and Transportation Committee and City of Toronto Council for information.

Sincerely,

A.J. Chocorlan

Interim General Secretary
