‘Panic-Induced Chaos At City Hall:’ STANKOVIC

Bulldog columnist Dan Stankovic responds to the mid-summer cautionary report from Ottawa City Hall on how to deal with Ottawa’s OC Transpo deficit:

One of the three primary reasons for the increasing funding deficit is the “reduction in ridership due to Covid.”

Then why isn’t one of the revenue solutions to increase post-pandemic ridership by improving the quality of transit services?

What is an Urban Transit Area anyway as a revenue potential source?

One gets a sense that there is some panic-induced chaos at City Hall.

Dan Stankovic is an Ottawa consultant and former municipal public servant in economic development and housing.
