Ottawa must make permanent pledge to fund public transit

Canadians want to spend less time commuting and more time with their families. Our economy thrives when cities are built to attract new businesses and skilled workers. We all want to ease congestion—to boost productivity and reduce climate-changing pollution. 

All these essential needs intersect at one point: better public transit.

Valérie Plante, John Tory and Kennedy Stewart (mayors of Montréal, Toronto and Vancouver) make the case for a permanent federal funding mechanism to build tomorrow's public transit.
