Improve existing subsidies and discounts, but maintain fares for most riders

Would you like to provide any additional context for your views on transportation?candidate's own words

Equitable access to transit is vital, but we must balance equitable fares for those who need it with building a high quality transit network. Reasonable fares help ensure that we have a financially sustainable transit system that can continue to improve on frequency and quality.

Please describe one criterion or principle that should not be compromised when making transit investment decisions.candidate's own words

We must ensure that equity of access is prioritized. People with disabilities, seniors, children, and students should have the same high quality experience whenever they use transit. As the system deals with financial sustainability pressure, we will need to consult these communities to ensure we make decisions in an equitable manner.
