Fair Calgary Report to be read December 5th, 2012

THANK YOU!!!! And keep SPREADing THE WORD!

Fair Fares wants to thank the many people who came to City council on November 5th, 2012. 

Community showed up to share concerns about the rising costs of transit fares.  Council tabled the Fair Calgary report until Wednesday, December 5th at 9:30 am in the City Hall "Engineering Traditions Committee Room"


We need to keep on telling our stories to our City alderman. 
Help us keep the momentum going! Learn why! 

Read the story of Salia Davis, a youth speaking out for youth who cannot afford to get on the bus who showed up on November 5th at City council.  


Spread the word about the petition 

Raise awareness:
While our transit system now has some funds to help increase services, there is no commitment to create better discounts for people living below the poverty line. 
We need a balanced approach to help create a transit service for everyone to afford. 

Collecting Stories to Improve Access to City Subsidies

Fair Fares has joined with Fair Calgary Community Voices to collect stories on how subsidies have improved people's quality of life. 

 

One recommendation we support is the need for greater discounts for people whose income is far below the poverty line.  This is known as a 'Sliding Scale'. 

Here is Christina's story... A need for a Family Pass to ride City Transit
