green grade for ocad- ttc

Heya everyone, so I did the TTC and here are the main points of what I talked about.

-subways- extensions of current lines into mississauga and north into vaughan
-streetcars- extend current lines outside of city core, cars that can also run on scarborough rt tracks
-busses- hybrid busses increasing, diesel busses now burn a biodiesel/ethanol mix
-employee cars- chevy tahoe hybrids are used (not the best option but it was the corperate sponsors choice)
-employees- available resources and courses to help employeesminimize impact on the environment

OCAD
-no discount plan for student metropasses
-u-pass developed for $60 per month but will be included on all students tuition without an opt out clause
-station near enough to facilitate easy commIn the end I gave OCAD a C because the only thing they personally can do to affect TTC policy is to institute a discount program. With enough energy put into it this could already be a reality.

See you all in class.. :P
