On August 23 the Customer Service Advisory Panel released their final report, containing 78 recommendations to improve overall customer service at the TTC. Throughout their six-month tenure, members of the volunteer Customer Service Advisory Panel solicited feedback from transit users and employees, examined the TTC’s operations, and performed research and analysis to better understand the organization’s challenges in providing world-class customer service.

On the day of the report’s release, members of the Toronto Transit Commission voted to endorse the panel’s recommendations in principle and also directed the TTC Chief General Manager to begin the process of hiring a chief customer service officer. The commissioners will report back on a plan of action for the report’s remaining recommendations at the September 30 commission meeting.
