Topic Facilitator Discussion Actions
Update on TDP
Jim Collins
Jim Collins said there was a poor response to the first town
surveys sent so they were sent again via different channels. Sixty-
eight of the second surveys sent have been returned. GO Transit
fares are currently the lowest in the state. There was discussion
about fares and the need to evaluate them further. Jim said he
would bring the steering committee’s fare recommendations back
to this Board. Jim also told that SRF Consultants would be
evaluating Route 9 and making recommendations.
