The campaign has two main thrusts. The first is direct pressure on the federal government to change the way that public transit benefits are treated by Revenue Canada. The second is to promote community-based campaigns to do the same thing by a different route. At the local and community level, the National Task Force has asked union members and the public to establish action plans to promote tax-exempt, employer provided bus passes. The situation over global warming, climate change and greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide has added urgency to such campaigns.
Transportation is the largest single source of the main greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.
