Tulsa mentioned as a model for Toronto

Here's an excerpt from Now Toronto regarding pollution.

"3 Make public transit free on smog days.

It works in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and New Jersey, but the TTC hates the idea because it hates anything that affects its bottom line, even if it might turn on hundreds of thousands of new riders to the wonders of public transit. There is a way to accommodate the TTC, by introducing an environmental surcharge/tax on parking tickets to help pay for the free transit. The TTC wants a ridership growth strategy? This is it."

Nice to see that sometimes....Tulsa can be the "model."
