Day of Action: Emergency Transit Funding

Essential workers — like nurses, doctors, sanitation staff and many more — rely on transit to get to work.

But public transit systems across Canada are facing service cuts and driver layoffs, because they depend mostly on fares for funding. Right now we need more service, not less, for safe physical distancing on transit!
