COVID-19 and the Future of Public Transit

Whether we are frontline workers or relying on transit to get our groceries, we need public transit to keep us moving. But with ridership falling, some transit agencies are cutting back on service because they depend on fares for operating funding.

This online panel looks at what public transit agencies should be doing to keep riders and workers safe during COVID-19, and how a public transit bailout can contribute to the climate action and public services we need.

Featuring:

• Desmond Cole, author of The Skin We’re In
• Carlos Santos, president of ATU Local 113
• Jamaal Myers, Scarborough Transit Action
• Kandeel Imran, student at UofT Scarborough
• James Hutt, The Leap

Moderated by Shelagh Pizey-Allen, TTCriders.
