We, the undersigned demand:

• The federal and provincial governments move towards a fully funded public transit system without user fares;
• That public transportation is made a funding priority by all governments;
• That governments take any available short-term steps to better fund transit while making fares more affordable or free (for eg. The Centre for Family Equity's Free Transit for Teens Campaign, or COPE's Upass for the Working Class proposal)
• That Vancouver take up the cause of advocating for fully funded and fare-free transit for all in our role as a climate justice leader.

Making public transit convenient, accessible, reliable, and free-to-ride is a no-brainer. We call upon authorities to prioritize this transformative step towards a sustainable and equitable future.
