I interviewed with AM800 to discuss yet another short-sighted decision by the City of Windsor, this time to cut a century-old transit service

I have a brief feature in this article on the new @strongtowns.org Windsor chapter!

Late on the update, but thanks to @activatetransitwe.bsky.social advocacy the Windsor-Detroit Tunnel Bus has been saved (for now). Unfortunately with a fare increase that could deter ridership, and with Mayor Dilkens threatening to veto the budget amendment altogether

The tunnel bus survived the first vote[1], but the mayor is considering a veto[2]. The bus was saved in a 7-4 vote[1]. We need 8 votes to save it from the veto. This would be a great time to write to your city council representative and tell them to save the bus. #Windsor #WindsorON #Detroit

If you are in #WindsorOntario and haven't yet signed @activatetransitwe.bsky.social's campaign to stop million dollar cuts to transit, please consider sending an email to council. We have come far and want to stay strong in the coming week. activatetransitwindsoressex.ca/budget-2025-...

Donald Trump has united Canada more than anyone else ever could.. against him, & the “threatening & insulting” idea of Canada ever joining the United States, says former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien on his 91st birthday. “Give your head a shake!” (if Chrétien wanted to lead the Liberals again…hmm)

Ridership is up but Windsor wants to cut funding for public transit? Email the mayor and your councillor in ten seconds flat via @activatetransitwe.bsky.social activatetransitwindsoressex.ca/budget-2025-...

🚨2025 Budget Guide🚨 Drew Dilkens has tabled the 2025 City of Windsor - Municipal Government Budget. With over $4 Million in increased revenue expected, what improvements should Transit Riders expect in 2025? None. activatetransitwindsoressex.ca/budget-2025/ #windsorontario #windsoron #yqg

I appear as a guest on AM800s Mornings with Mike and Meg to discuss cuts to the Transit Budget: omny.fm/shows/am-800...

Hi Bluesky! The Transit Windsor budget is proposing millions of dollars worth of cuts and "efficiencies" in the transit budget. You can read Active Transit Windor Essex's press release here: activatetransitwindsoressex.ca/budget-2025/
