In a move towards a more connected and cost-effective transit future, Ontario launched the "One Fare" initiative on February 26, 2024. This program aims not only to save money for transit riders but also to enhance the overall transit experience by promoting connectivity and sustainability.
This program is anticipated to foster over eight million new rides annually, particularly benefiting students, seniors, and commuters relying on GO Transit, TTC, Brampton Transit, Durham Region Transit, MiWay, and York Region Transit.
This initiative aligns with the broader goal of encouraging more people to opt for public transportation, not only saving on individual expenses but also actively contributing to energy conservation as transportation is the 2nd biggest GHG emitter in urban areas!
At Energy@Work, we take great pride in being strong advocates for cycling. Named Toronto’s bike friendliest business, we won in the “Best Overall” category for 2 consecutive years. We offer bike passes to utilize Toronto’s City bikes and keep a spare bike in our office for employees to use at their discretion. We have worked with Downtown BIA to circulate the following booklet “Take Your Gym to Work” and continue to leave our cars at home when possible.
The Energy@Work team will continue to opt for public transit, when feasible, and will continue encouraging the use of alternative transportation to reduce the use of personal vehicles!
