Today we setup in the Students Union Building to talk about BRT!
We heard a lot of excitement about the project, and a lot of wishes for faster and more reliable transit on Whyte Avenue.

The Carney Government just passed a Federal Budget that cuts the Canada Public Transit Fund, as the TTC faces a $4.3B repair backlog & $232M operations shortfall.
The $3B fund will now be folded into a generalized infrastructure fund, leaving less money on the table for transit riders nationwide 👎

2026 will be the first (hopefully not last) year that the Canada Public Transit Fund Baseline stream will be in place. Edmonton could unlock up to $16.4 million in additional funding for transit projects through this stream, IF council commits to invest.

This is a great piece from David Cooper about how important the Canada Public Transit Fund is for predictability and maintaining a state of good repair
The Liberal government can reduce their cuts to the program

Opinion: Federal funding cut derails hopes for better public transit
At the very time when Canada’s economy is struggling, this transit funding cut will make things worse.

Today we setup at Coliseum LRT Station to talk to transit riders about the station design
riders can envision a better, more comfortable future for Coliseum Station, and the best part is, the city has millions of dollars available to put towards it through Expo Lands funding.

Whyte Avenue is Edmonton's most vibrant main street, but that doesn't mean we have to accept noise, traffic violence, and congestion
In an opinion article we submitted to the Journal, ETR Chair Daniel Witte talks about his experience spending Halloween on Whyte

Opinion: Let's make Whyte Avenue less scary for pedestrians
We experienced the conflict between Whyte’s energy and vibrancy, with the danger and chaos perpetuated by its car-centric design.
