🧵 I am thrilled that the federal government has met our needs for transit operating shortfall funding, but in order to retain this offer, we need the province to step up too. #YEG #YEGtransit
I am passionate about Edmonton transit and I know how life-changing accessible, affordable and functioning transit can be. Provincial funding would help increase ridership, maintain service levels and create jobs here in our city - this is a reasonable ask. #YEG #YEGtransit

City is already looking into many elements, including fare policy, but hasn't dug into economic impact of transit. #yegcc is building a city on this; "we should have a deep understanding of what this essential service is." #yegtranist

.@bevesslinger is questioning the use of this. It seems that city officials are already doing most of this work. The new piece is really economic impact.
