Good news: both mayoral candidates have made platform promises regarding issues raised in our plan. 🧵 #ttc #torontotransit #topoli #electionday

Brad Bradford has said: “Faster streetcars. Full transit signal priority, automated switches and 500m stop spacing to cut streetcar travel times by 40%. Toronto streetcars average 10.8 km/h. European cities run at 19. A streetcar that moves stops backing up every car behind it.”

Toronto really, really needs a mayor who will not only be there for, but adamantly push for our streetcar network to be fixed. And our 10-point plan is the perfect place to start.

We've seen lots of support from city council candidates across the city on getting these points in place, which is really encouraging.

Phase rotation is finally active at some intersections on Line 6 Finch West! But what is phase rotation? And how does it make my commute faster? 🤔👇

This is something that can be implemented relatively quickly and on a budget. That’s why it’s the first point in our plan, and that’s why it must be a core element of how Toronto improves and expands its streetcar network over the months and years ahead. #ttc #ttcriders #topoli

Phase rotation is finally active at some intersections on Line 6 Finch West! But what is phase rotation? And how does it make my commute faster? 🤔👇

Normally, traffic lights operate on a fixed order. Phase rotation allows this order to be changed if a transit vehicle approaches, giving it a green light sooner. This means that if you’re riding the train, you can get to your destination faster!

Road closures in Toronto heavily affect the streetcar network, sometimes for months at a time. The upcoming 504 diversion on King West is a prime example of this. The work being done is important—there’s no denying that—but it also causes a lot of disruption to transit riders.

All of this has been proven effective in cities with similar systems to Toronto, like Melbourne. Even if we can’t do it right away, why not plan for it? #ttc #ttcriders #topoli #torontotransit

Modular track segments, like those used in Melbourne, can *keep streetcar lines running* right up to the edge of construction zones. Riders can then hop on another streetcar on the other side of the construction, and continue their journey.

Crews are currently replacing streetcar tracks on King West that have reached their end of life. During this work, we *should* be installing newer double-point switch designs and modern control systems.

Both of these changes would make your commute faster by: 1) Ending the need to stop at each switch to confirm the direction 2) Eliminating the 10 km/h speed restriction through switches

The TTC has released a survey on proposed updates to their service standards. It includes various changes to reliability, crowding, and best of all, streetcar stop spacing, which is one of the 10 items in our plan!

Yesterday, Sep. 21, we sent out pledges to a total of 175 city council candidates running in the 2026 Toronto municipal election. Candidates were asked whether they will work implement the policies from our 10-point plan if they win on Oct. 26 🙋

FastTrackTO has learned that the posted speed limits for buses on the brand new Scarborough Busway will be 30 km/h near stations and signals. 🐌 This is disappointing, and reduces travel time savings that the busway is meant to provide. Especially re: any express buses.

The speed limits need to be increased to 60 km/h, because riders deserve the faster commute times that they were promised. 🚌💨 #torontotransit #ttc #TOpoli #transit #toronto
