[KWPeace-groups] Transit Access for All

[Nadine Quehl]

Hello all,

I’m looking forward to the October 1st KW Peace event!

Please support Alliance Against Poverty (AAP) tomorrow if you’re able:

On Wednesday, September 21st (7pm) members of the Alliance Against Poverty will be giving a short presentation at Waterloo Regional Council (150 Frederick St., Kitchener). We'll be arguing that residents of the Region of Waterloo who live below the poverty line deserve free transit! The proposal that we have been supporting for several years is simple - anyone in the region who is on Ontario Works (OW) or the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) should have access to free transit.

Transportation and mobility are key in today’s economy, and transportation is a serious struggle for those living below the poverty line. Access to transportation, especially for the poor, is essential for employment, food, and basic support services. And Grand River Transit (GRT) prices are not affordable to an individual on a fixed lower income. It's time for the Region of Waterloo to come up with a better plan!

If you think transit access is an important issue and you would like to support the Alliance Against Poverty's campaign for free transit access for those on OW or ODSP, please come out to support us!

Once again, we'll be presenting to the Waterloo Regional Council on Wednesday, September 21st at 7pm. The location is 150 Frederick St., Kitchener.

Thanks for your support, we'll see you there!
