What's the difference between a Regional Lead and a regular volunteer?

This position involves advocating for major infrastructure projects, such as GO Transit expansion, regional bus networks, and fare integration. Regional Leads engage with provincial and federal agencies, transit authorities, and key stakeholders to influence transportation planning and policy.


They also support City Leads by coordinating advocacy efforts between municipalities and ensuring a unified approach to transit improvements.
