Summary

In September 2025, the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) delivered its peer review of the TTC’s streetcar and subway assets and maintenance programs. The review resulted in 32 recommendations aimed at improving asset management, maintenance performance, and customer service reliability. Of the 32 recommendations, the TTC accepted 20, reserved 10 for further assessment, and considered two to require no further action. This report:

  • Provides progress updates on the 30 outstanding UITP recommendations;
  • Identifies those recommendations that are considered High Priority by the TTC because they have the potential to significantly impact safety or service, require additional funding, or depend on partnering with the City of Toronto;
  • Includes timelines for management actions; and
  • Identifies whether additional resourcing over and above approved budgets is required.

Financial Impact

Funds to implement the TTC’s EAM Program and the Maintenance Management System (MMS) rollout are included in the TTC’s 2026-2035 Capital Budget and Plan, which was approved by the TTC Board at its meeting on January 7, 2026, and by City Council on February 10, 2025. The total project cost for each program is detailed in the table below:
