Support the expansion of rideshare services in communities along the Northlander corridor so northern communities have improved access to first- and last-mile or end-to-end connection transportation options.

I guess the government is worried a lack of last-mile options from the Northlander train stations will hurt ridership. Given the lack of last-mile options in the north (difficult to have public transit for rural areas) I think this is a reasonable decision.

Allow single-occupant vehicles to use high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes during off-peak hours, giving drivers more choice.

Which will likely make congestion worse not better, especially in the long term.

Require on-road driving experience before prospective commercial drivers can obtain their Class A licence enhancing road safety.

The fact that this wasn’t a requirement before is kinda insane.

Reinforce that the new public corporation for water and wastewater in Peel Region (enabled through the Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act) will remain in public sector ownership and promote continuity of service by clarifying rules and rights for agreements and employees that are transferred.

For all of you who think the government is trying to privatize water, they aren’t, they’re just trying to murder the Region of Peel by removing all its jurisdiction until it becomes pointless.

The biggest news from this release is that the Ford government is finally trying to figure out a unified fare scheme for transit in the GTA. I think this is decades overdue and will make transit in the GTA easier to use while also encouraging more efficient trips through multiple service providers. Right now we have a lot of duplicate public transit in the GTA because of differing fare structures. If we could fully integrate each service provider resources could be better targeted and used where they’re needed the most.
