Join us as we host Horizon Ottawa in a discussion on public transit in Ottawa. Climate action, affordability, and accessibility means investing in good public transit. Right now, transit is in decline, so few people use it. We will never grow ridership with more route cuts and fare increases. We can do better, we deserve better.
