Mayor, some councillors turn down transit challenge Social Sharing

By Krystalle Ramlakhan, CBC News Ottawa, February 4, 2019

Ottawa's mayor and several city councillors have turned down a challenge to rely solely on OC Transpo this week.

The challenge came from advocacy group Free Transit Ottawa, and so far 15 councillors have accepted.

The group is urging residents to contact the seven city councillors who have said no, or who haven't responded.

(...)The event is co-sponsored by Ecology Ottawa, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 279 and other groups.
