That s all the TTC is asking to get from a gasoline tax the Ontario government collects annually. For every litre of gas sold in Ontario, the government collects almost 15 cents for its provincial coffers. The TTC thinks its time that a portion of that existing tax be dedicated to public transit. Last month the TTC embarked on a marketing campaign to make a case for a new source of revenue a share of the current gas tax. The campaign includes three weeks of radio advertising, various versions of surface vehicle car cards, subway car and platform posters and take-one flyers with a return portion addressed to Premier Mike Harris.
Different states collect a different gas tax rate.
The state decides how much to allocate to each property. The TTC currently covers almost 81 per cent of its operating costs from the farebox.
