This report presents the 2025 Annual Service Plan (ASP), which provides a roadmap for service changes for the coming year, including recommendations for new and revised routes based on input and engagement with TTC customers, front-line staff, and the community.

The 2025 ASP focuses on enhancing connections across the transit network and making the system more attractive to all customers including the three key priority groups (women, shift workers and lower income customers) in the coming years.

The key themes for this year’s plan are:

1. Enhancing connections to meet customer needs
2. Improving the Community Bus service
3. Planning for construction: from principles to practice

The 2025 ASP can be found in Attachment 1 - 2025 Annual Service Plan.
