2012 Budget Process
In an effort to cut 10% out of its 2012 operating budget - a request made by the Ford administration to all City Departments - the TTC announced that it would have to roll back service on most routes to loading and service standards from 2008. On September 19, 2011 the TTC announced that 250 non-union jobs would be eliminated. The cuts to the non-union positions will consist of both layoffs and "voluntary separation packages". It was also announced that 232 unionized "frontline" (operators and collectors) positions would be eliminated through attrition. It was also revealed that a further 500-600 unionized jobs could be eliminated next year by contracting out various positions in clerical and maintenance related departments.
