7-Day Monitoring Signal
Wards To Monitor This Week
Forecast based on live surface service, peak/off-peak pressure, ward population, and route-demand weighting.
This is a monitoring priority, not an official TTC forecast. The current signal is rule-based; as historical snapshots accumulate, the same watchlist can learn recurring ward and time-period patterns without changing the user experience.
Today's Key Findings
Why It Matters
1Transit-dependent residents face longer wait times and reduced access to opportunity.
2Service gaps affect access to jobs, education, healthcare, and essential services.
3Better alignment of service with need leads to a more equitable city.
4Live data can support better civic conversations about where service is showing up.

How The Score Is Estimated
Each ward compares its share of live TTC surface capacity against a demand proxy: 2021 ward population plus route-demand weighting from known high-ridership corridors.
The watchlist is currently a rule-based monitoring signal. Future model improvements should strengthen the same ward risk score using observed historical snapshots, day-of-week patterns, and recurring peak/off-peak pressure.
This is an indicative service-balance model. It is not an official TTC equity assessment and does not include subway, Wheel-Trans, actual boardings, alightings, or crowding sensors.
