Get on board transit as a priority continued from p.6 ronment, our health, our economic vitality. The Halton Poverty Roundtable is particularly conscious of public transit's potential for individuals living on lower incomes: increasing their access to jobs -- and their ability to engage socially: as volunteers, or with their children for sports and recreation opportunities. Income inequity is increasingly pointed to as a defining issue of our time -- and improved public transit has value to all of us. Compared to other major urban areas, public transit in the Greater Toronto Area is an embarrassment that, comparatively, leaves us appearing impoverished as a community and nation. For the sake of our entire community, it is time that we follow the lead of others around the globe by calling on all levels of government to make affordable public transit a priority.
