Toronto wants to take urgent steps to improve safety on the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) after many assaults and stabbings left riders injured recently.
Toronto is in talks to add more than 20 community safety ambassadors and over 50 security guards to the transit system. The city works with people suffering from homelessness.
The Streets to Homes workers will offer outreach services. Security guards, meanwhile, have “daily experience dealing with underhoused people in crisis,” the city said.
Toronto Mayor, John Tory said: “The TTC must be safe for everyone. At my urging, City officials have been working with the TTC to provide any required support to help keep our transit system safe.”
