The Role of Affordable Transportation

Fair "Fares?"

The Fair Fares Program: Download a postcard to spread the word!

Being able to pay for transportation allows people living on low income to fully participate in and contribute to their communities.

How do you think providing affordable bus fare in your community would impact poverty and homelessness? How can you advocate for a similar program to "Fair Fares" in your community?

Here are some ideas you might want to explore...

Who would pay for affordable transportation for people with low-income?	Are there provincial or state policies in place that support affordable transportation projects where you live?
If you could design an affordable transportation program in your community, what would it look like?	How do you think people would react to the possiblity of having affordable transportation in your community? Is there a way to ask people in your community?
