We are advocating for long overdue changes to Ottawa’s transit system that would make it much more reliable, convenient, and attractive for all riders. This will improve service for those who depend on transit and help reduce emissions by drawing new riders away from cars.

  1. Make OC Transpo free in off-peak hours (9:00 am – 3:00 p.m.; 6:00 pm – 6:00 am; and on weekends)
  2. Add 150 buses to improve service in peak and off-peak hours 
  3. Add 50 local/neighbourhood buses in underserviced areas
  4. Add 25 vehicles to Para Transpo and provide same day booking
  5. Expand bus-only lanes, starting with the most unreliable routes  
  6. Democratize the Transit Committee by replacing 6 of the 12 Councillors with 4 members who are directly elected by the citizens of Ottawa and 2 members selected by ATU Local 279
