Our TSP system needs *LOTS* of improvements to get up to speed...but the potential is there!
Stay up to date on the progress of our ten-point plan by following us 🙋. If you haven't seen it yet, you can also visit our website in bio to see our full plan.

Starting today, we're doing a series where we dive a bit deeper into each of our ten points, and why they're vital to the future of our streetcar system.
Today is Transit Signal Priority day! 🧵 https://t.co/QXgSGIdOHw
In Toronto, however, our communication equipment is in dire need for updates and adjustments in order to be more effective at its job. Existing sensors need to be moved or tuned to allow for more accurate detection of vehicles, and new technology can also help.
Toronto currently has transit signal priority, but it's far more limited than what it should be. Walking around the city, you may notice that signals extend green lights if a transit vehicle is approaching. This *is* great, but in many places, it's not enough!
@GSawision If you’d like to provide input, please do!
We’re just advocating to make Toronto’s transit system…and specifically the streetcars and LRTs…better.
Any new ideas or input would be helpful and greatly appreciated.
Big news for Toronto's streetcars ! 🚋💨
Tomorrow, the TTC Board is reviewing a major report on streetcar and LRT reliability. It's really incredible to see that the TTC's official recommendations align so closely with FastTrackTO's 10-point plan. 🧵👇
This proves that the push for faster, prioritized streetcars is consistent among both advocates and official policy!
This is really exciting to see, and we’ll be watching tomorrow’s Board meeting closely.
Let’s get Toronto on the #fasttrack ! 🚋💨
Line 5's top speed is now 80 km/h in tunnels!
Reviewing speed restrictions is 3️⃣ on our ten-point plan, and a great first step to put #Eglinton on the fast track!
Now it’s time for the surface section of Line 5, Line 6 and the #streetcars.

Fantastic to see the City's Congestion Management Plan call for Enhanced TSP on more corridors!
That's point #1 of the https://t.co/yZeFdevGUn 10-Point Plan in motion! ✅
It's an exciting start...but we're not done. Let's keep up the momentum #TTCriders!
