Q6 - Will you commit to building a public transit system that is rapid, reliable, affordable and accessible for all users, with proper transit routes within rural, suburban and lower income communities?

Brandon Russell

Yes. This is a very important part of my platform.

Stuart MacKay

Yes. Public transit and active transportation must form the backbone of our community. We need reliable, affordable, accessible, and safe public transit across Somerset Ward and Ottawa. If elected, I would make investing in the reliability and frequency of public transit a top priority over the next four years. I would push for more frequency OC Transpo routes 6, 7, 10, 11, and 14, essential routes that serve seniors, students, and low income members of our communities. Finally, I will advocate for a more reliable ParaTranspo service for users, more investments in ParaTranspo equipment, and a greater voice in transit decision-making for Para users.
