Change takes every one of us working together: If we want climate justice, we need an affordable transit system that goes where people need to go & arrives often. EMAIL your councillor to demand a frequent service network +SHARE: functionaltransit.com/stop-p… #wpgpoli #b4awpg #winnipeg

How much you can save not owning your own vehicle & biking, walking and bussing more. These were my transportation costs for 2019 – at Winnipeg, Manitoba

The City of #Winnipeg #climate plan requires CO2 reductions by 20% over the next 10 years. To do that more people need to be riding #transit & the single best way to increase transit ridership is higher frequency service. Email to demand 10-min frequency: functionaltransit.com/stop-p…

When we work together change happens. In November, you told the city transit cuts were unacceptable. Council listened. Now it’s time to demand a fundamental fix. Email your councillor & demand frequent service on all 22 routes in the transit master plan. functionaltransit.com/stop-p…

Staying late at the Infrastructure Renewal and Public Works committee tonight. Over 60 presenters registered, and about half were @FTWinnipeg memebers and supporters. Winnipeg needs a frequent service network! Proposed transit cuts are devastating and need to be stopped...1/2

“We need a system that gets people out of their cars - that gets them to work, the doctor, the store & their leisure destinations faster & more conveniently than their cars.That’s what we need in the face of the climate crisis” @SandyKlowak at City Hall #speakfortransit #wpgpoli

The urgent #climatecrisis means we don't have time to wait 25 years for a frequent service network. DEMAND bold leadership: $$ for 10-min frequency for the Transit Master Plan within 4 years. SPEAK at City Hall Thursday. EMAIL your reps: functionaltransit.com/stop-p… #Winnipeg #wpgpoli

If we understand harmful substance use, violence as rooted in societal & community environments that are unequal and unhealthy, with disrupted relationships as a result of colonization, racism and poverty, then we can take a public health and evidence-based approach." #safety – at Winnipeg, Manitoba

20 min door-to-door from west wolseley to HSC. 2 frequent buses, 1 instant, seamless transfer. This is frequent service and it’s amazing. We need it throughout the system — it will revolutionize how Winnipeggers travel. Tell your councillor: functionaltransit.com/stop-p… #wpgpoli

Imagine a bus network so frequent it feels like a metro & we get it in just 4 years. The city's proposed network could do that but needs funding. Tell your councillor– it’s the only way this will happen. Speak at City Hall Nov 28. [email protected] for info. #wpgpoli

The city I want to live in is filled with beautiful healthy trees. Winnipeg's invaluable canopy is in crisis. Please send and share this email via @OURS_Winnipeg to Mayor and Council asking for enough funding to #saveourcanopy. #wpgpoli #winnipeg saveourcanopy.com/

Packed 11 bus at 10:40pm. This is a great frequent route and it’s packed like this at all hours!

These proposed cuts are deeply unacceptable. At a moment when the new network proposed in the Transit Master Plan could make our transit system world-class (if properly funded, with 10-min frequency), all of a sudden we are forced to fight major service cuts yet again. #wpgpoli

Email your councillor and tell them NO cuts to transit, and 10-minute frequency on all routes in the proposed network: functionaltransit.com/stop-p… #wpgpoli

Join a growing group of us and speak to council in person at City Hall on Nov. 28 to tell council transit funding is a top priority for Winnipeggers. Message me for details. #wpgpoli
