Environment, Climate and Forestry is committed to the continued implementation of tree maintenance service improvements as recommended by the Auditor General in their report entitled "Getting to the Root of the Issues: A Follow Up to the 2019 Tree Maintenance Services Audit". Improvements have been focused on strengthening processes and increasing productivity and service quality to drive a more effective and efficient tree maintenance operation. Progress to date includes improved contract language and management practices, increased oversight of Urban Forestry Operations, and timely responses to complaints. In line with these improvements, Environment, Climate and Forestry continues to focus on the quality of its tree maintenance services through a multi-faceted review of operational practices. As reported to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee in the Tree Maintenance Review Update (2024), an external review was conducted in 2023 by Ernst and Young with a focus on service quality enhancements.

Electric micromobility options have become more prevalent as they offer affordable, sustainable alternatives to personal vehicles, help to address first- and last-mile gaps, reduce congestion, and improve accessibility. While micromobility presents scalable solutions to urban challenges such as climate change, air quality and traffic congestion, its growing use also introduces safety risks, particularly for vulnerable road users including the rider and pedestrians such as seniors, children and people living with disabilities. Coordinated efforts in public awareness, infrastructure review and policy development are needed to ensure safe and equitable integration. In 2024, Transportation Services released Toronto’s Micromobility Strategy, establishing key policy goals and evaluation criteria to guide the integration of emerging micromobility options. This report provides an update as requested by Council (2024.IE13.1) on actions taken to enhance safety for micromobility users and pedestrians, including progress on a public education campaign, the formation of a dedicated working group and next steps to understand the impact of current behaviours and to support behaviour change…

The Toronto Transit Commission must be safe for everyone. Improving safety on the Toronto Transit Commission will attract more riders and help reduce congestion. At the May 2025 City Council meeting, City staff were directed to develop a plan to expand Toronto Community Crisis Service directly on to the Toronto Transit Commission. Appended here is a report from the Executive Director, Social Development, outlining the operational plan to follow through on Council’s direction. In 2025, the City of Toronto expanded Toronto Community Crisis Service citywide and made it our official fourth emergency service as approved through the 2025 Mayor’s Budget. As a next phase in embedding this service across Toronto, the attached report proposes to pilot an expansion of Toronto Community Crisis Service onto the subway system to provide appropriate, expert care to people experiencing mental health illness and enhance safety on the Toronto Transit Commission. Through the pilot program developed by Social Development, in partnership with the Toronto Transit Commission, trained crisis workers will be embedded in Toronto Transit Commission stations to provide immediate response to peopl…
