WHEREAS, although the Transit Commission’s recommendation that the Government of Ontario provide funding for a low-income transit pass is a good first step in helping to provide affordable transportation for those members of our community living below the Low Income Cut-off, the issue of transportation for those individuals and families requires a broader approach; and WHEREAS the Province of Ontario provides limited transportation benefits, making access to public transit unaffordable, even at discounted rates, for the majority of individuals who receive benefits through the Provincial Ontario Works Program and Ontario Disability Support Program; and WHEREAS, even if a low income transit pass was funded by the Province and adopted by Ottawa City Council, there would still be hurdles for low income residents being able to afford a pass because transit is not defined as a mandatory benefit by the province; and WHEREAS there are additional transportation hurdles for those low income individuals and families who live in areas that are not served by public transit (i.e. in Ottawa’s rural communities) or who live in under-served areas (where those who work shift work or overnight whose commuting hours do not align with the transit service hours in their neighbourhoods), and where a low-income transit pass would not be of help; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that, in addition to requesting that the Province provide funding for a low-income transit pass, City Council also request that the
