This study lays out a compromise solution to political gridlock over how to pay for the $2.5 billion in planned public transit expansion in the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton. The paper examines the full range of funding options, including areas for potential contributions from municipal, provincial and federal governments, and also attempts to balance the debate by considering both sides of the ledger — capital and operating expenses.
CCPA not only does first-rate research; it also connects with the real world by putting powerful information in the hands of advocacy groups and by presenting intelligent, progressive ideas in the media. It is a BC jewel and I urge everyone to support it.
