Recommendations

It is recommended that the Audit and Risk Management Committee:

 

1. Receive the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) Peer Review report and direct staff to evaluate the feasibility, cost, timing, and alignment of its recommendations with TTC’s mission and vision.

 

2. Direct staff to incorporate the recommendations deemed to be a strong strategic fit into the TTC Asset Management Maturity Roadmap.

 

3. Authorize that the information in Attachment 2 remain confidential as it contains information related to the security of the property of the TTC.

Summary

The TTC is an asset-intensive organization committed to advancing its asset management through a comprehensive, multi-year improvement program. A key element of this program is engaging industry subject matter experts and peer organizations to ensure alignment with best practices.

 

In keeping with this approach, the Audit & Risk Management Committee endorsed a International Association of Public Transport (UITP) led peer review of TTC’s Subway and Streetcar assets and maintenance programs at its meeting on September 11, 2024.
