The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is the third largest public transit system in North America, moving 1.5 million riders every day in the Greater Toronto Area. TTC has a network of 700 subway cars, 250 streetcars, 1,800 buses, and a fleet of specialized service Wheel-Trans for people who require accessible transportation.

Through Multitone Wireless (Canada), Daniels Electronics authorized dealer in the Toronto region, TTC now has a comprehensive paging system operating from the top of the CN Tower (1,815’). The paging system provides paging coverage anywhere in metro Toronto for all TTC staff, ensuring timely alerts for daily operations or in response to emergencies. All TTC vehicles and staff are equipped with pagers and can be alerted individually for routine maintenance and operational activity or for large scale responses in an emergency. TTC use the system to build individual response teams for each activity whether it is a maintenance callout for a station or a large scale emergency such as a vehicle accident or fire. According to Ed Heffernan, General Manager with Multitone Wireless (Canada), “We offered the TTC the ability to do group pages but they prefer to use individual pages for each and every incident to ensure the response team is customized to the incident. They are very happy with their new system and it is meeting their needs.”
