Another fine DCN article by @DonWall_DCN covering the Ontario Transit Funding Forum! Along with my post-event perspectives, he highlights interesting results from @MainStResearch transit polling & excellent presentations by @artm_quebec's Ludwig Desjardins and @CllrJamaalMyers.

Given the choice between new transit infrastructure or better funding and operations of existing stock, Ontario residents stated in a new poll they favour the latter.
That’s a smart decision suggests @TransportFuture Futures founder Martin Collier.

Great article by @DonWall_DCN quoting David Cooper @leadingmobility, Robert Martin @MainStResearch , Karen Cameron @ON_PublicTrnsit & Andrew McCurran @TransLink after they spoke at Transport Futures last week. Becca Nagorsky @HDR_Inc and Kimberly Earls @scorregion in photo!

. @DCN_Canada was on hand for a recent @TransportFuture event where transit stakeholders warned of ‘fiscal cliffs’ if operations funding continues to lag.

4) submit your ERO comments on issues of highway building, weakening Environmental Assessment Act and stopping opposition here: https://t.co/MNuuoUkWCs 5/5

Today marks 16 years since Transport Futures' Inaugural Road Pricing Forum! Since then, 42 more learning events have taken place featuring over 250 local and international speakers discussing progressive policies from a range of perspectives: https://t.co/zIt2u21ClL 1/5

3) contact your municipal council requesting that they support a motion against provincial overreach into local decisions. @cityofkingston has already done this so hopefully @cityoftoronto, @cityofguelph and other municipalities will follow suit. https://t.co/X2tVr3aWPc 4/5

[Martin Collier @TransportFuture]

Proud to be given the last word in this great @PointerBrampton article regarding Ontario's Bill 212: https://t.co/EigvBjexiK Progressive folks must collaborate on multiple policies set out in TF's press release pertaining to Ford's 401 tunnel vision. https://t.co/7PSmMkj0Ob

[Martin Collier @TransportFuture]

I have been interviewed by several journalists regarding Ford's tunnel vision. You can check them out here: https://t.co/0GlF9FaveP. The time and energy that the media, bureaucrats, transportation experts and the public have to invest due to one crazy idea should be calculated...

[Martin Collier @TransportFuture]

I'll be discussing Doug Ford's Highway 401 tunnel vision on @CFRU's “Open Sources (@OS_Guelph)” with @adamadonaldson today (Oct 3) at 5:25 ET -- tune in here: https://t.co/JeKiEYvKTV

[Martin Collier @TransportFuture]

If @fordnation is serious about decreasing #congestion, he should optimize the existing road network rather than spending billions on a tunnel that causes traffic delays during construction and ultimately induces more car travel. Solutions @ https://t.co/7PSmMkjyDJ

@DonWall_DCN writes that @regionomics presented "provocative insights and myth-busting" at the recent GTHA #Transit Summit: https://t.co/rWcdI2F0yb Thanks again to @trsmtorontomet, @StrategyCorp, @CPCSTranscom, @TransportAction and @RideArgoCo for supporting the sold-out Summit!
