Stephen Crawford • PC Twenty years ago there was no congestion, but as urban and rural areas have grown at a record pace, traffic congestion has be- come a major issue every- where. This is where the PC Party, under Doug Ford, will finally bring some much-needed posi- tive change. We have seen that Kath- leen Wynne and the Liber- als can't be trusted when it comes to building transit. Ford, on the other hand, has spent his entire career fighting to build more sub- ways and transit in the City of Toronto. People across the province know that Ford will support a variety of modes of transit that will both relieve congestion and get people moving. Better transit options mean less time commuting to and from work every day and more time spent with your family. The Ontario PC Party will invest $5 billion in ad- ditional funding to build subways in Toronto and re- gional transit corridors across the broader GTA. We will provide help for commuters across the GTA by ensuring that the provincial government as- sumes responsibility for maintenance and invest- ments in Toronto subway infrastructure. We also want to make commuting a more produc- tive experience and sup- port adding Wi-Fi to GO trains. Now that's a transit plan that makes sense for the people of Oakville and Ontario. lContinued from page 20 Candidates offer solutions to alleviate gridlock our community. Getting to and from work faster and easier means less time traveling and more time with our families. That's why the Liberal government has been in- vesting in transit in Oak- ville and Burlington. At our local stations, we've seen new platforms, new parking and increased ser- vice on the Lakeshore West line, so that the train now runs every half hour. And if you get on the TTC with your Presto card, we've also cut the cost of your subway ride in half. That's very different from Doug Ford's record.from Doug Ford's record.f When he was at Toronto City Hall, he was part of a government that talked a lot about transit, but didn't build any. What they did do Effie Triantafilopoulos • PC Transit is vital to our communities in Oakville and Burlington. As a com- muter myself, I know our highways and transit cor- ridors need to be improved now. The Ontario PC party is committed to investing $5 billion in additional fund- ing to build regional tran- sit corridors across the broader GTA. We need to reduce red tape and take action by putting shovels in the ground. It is time for a govern- ment that keeps its promis- es. Alvin Tedjo • Liberal Public transit is vital to was eliminated transit routes and raise fees. Our plan is different. Our plan is to build on our progress by electrifying the Lakeshore West line and increasing service to every 15 minutes. That would mean even quicker commutes and cleaner air, two things that we all know are important to families in Oakville and Burling- ton. As your MPP, I'll work hard to make sure that we keep making public transit better, to make your life easier. Frank DeLuca • Trillium Traffic congestion will become significantly worse and more wide- spread without big chang- es in how people and prod- ucts get around. There are many possi- ble solutions, but none are easy or cheap. Public tran- sit is at its highest levels during peak times. We can build more tran- sit, build more roads, use traffic app technology but it's never enough. I suggest a different ap- proach: offer incentives to businesses to increase the staggering of start and stop times, similar to hydro peak and off-peak pricing. We can broaden the transit system to off-peak hours, allowing people op- portunities for earlier and later runs, and offer HOV and Hwy. 407 incentives. The ultimate solution is to create jobs closer to home so people don't have to commute. lContinued from page 21 Transit enhancements will help relieve congestion, say Oakville North-Burlington candidates
