The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) board has approved a report aimed at minimizing disruptions caused by extreme weather events, following record snowfall and rain in recent months. The board plans to incorporate the latest climate projections to enhance the resilience of its operations. Discussions will include reviewing winter maintenance strategies and exploring technologies used by other cities. Board members emphasize that climate change realities necessitate preparations for severe storms and challenging weather conditions, as past incidents have highlighted vulnerabilities in the system's reliability.
"If the system is shut down, it's of no use to anyone." - Coun. Jamaal Myers emphasizes the importance of TTC operations during extreme weather.
"Precipitation has a big impact on the functionality and the reliability of our system and I want to see the TTC move on this as quickly as possible." - Coun. Josh Matlow.
"We have to predict that it's going to snow once in a while and we need to be prepared." - Coun. Josh Matlow on the need for readiness in winter.
