Commemorating Former TTC Chair Howard Moscoe - by Chair Jamaal Myers, seconded by Vice-Chair Joe Mihevc

Later, he was elected as a Metro Toronto Councillor from 1988 to 1997 representing North York Spadina. While a Member of Toronto City Council, he served as Commissioner, Vice Chair, and Chair of the Toronto Transit Commission over his 14 years service on the Commission. He served on the TTC Board from 1992 to 2006, and was Chair from 1998 to 2000 and from 2003 to 2006. During his first term as Chair, the TTC broke ground on the new Queens Quay streetcar line that connects Union Station with Exhibition Place, began construction on the Sheppard subway, and started to build the Transit Control Centre at Hillcrest Complex. In his second term as Chair, Moscoe helped steer the TTC through the SARS crisis and the 2003 electricity blackout and the TTC introduced it's 2003 Ridership Growth Strategy-a guiding document for transit investment in the decade that followed, which saw the system grow ridership to more than half a billion riders annually. Howard Moscoe's contributions to the Toronto Transit Commission are worthy of recognition. As such, this motion gives direction to TTC staff to identify opportunities for Mr. Moscoe to be commemorated.
