Background
The Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension (IYSSE) project is being undertaken joindy
by the City of Toronto I Toronto Transit Commission (ITC) and York Region. This
project has received approval under the Ontario Environmental Assessment (EA) Act under
two separate EA studies:
Spadina Subway Extension Environmental Assessment from Downsview to Steeles

Avenue (February 2006)- City of Toronto I TTC
Highway 7 Corridor Vaughan North-South Link Public Transit Improvements
Environmental Assessment (August 2005) -York Region (this EA addresses the
extension of the Spadina Subway north of Steeles Avenue to the Vaughan Corporate
Centre at Highway 7).
The Spadina Subway Extension Environmental Assessment from Downsview to Steeles

Avenue addressed the 6.2 km, 4 station underground extension of the Spadina Subway from
Downsview Station to Steeles Avenue, with related commuter facilities (bus terminals,
passenger pick-up and drop-off and commuter parking). In a letter dated October 18,2006
from the Minister of the Environment, Laurel C. Broten, the EA was approved under the
Environmental Assessment Act. With this approval, the City of Toronto and TTC could
proceed with the undertaking, subject to the conditions imposed in the October 18,2006
letter and any other permits and approvals required.
Item 7 of the Conditions of Approval, submission of Complaints Protocol, is addressed in
this document. The Complaints Protocol focuses on how the TTC will deal with and
respond to inquiries and complaints received during the construction and operation of the
Spadina Subway Extension from Downsview to Steeles A venue. A separate Complaints
Protocol will be submitted for the Highway 7 Corridor Vaughan North-South Link Public
Transit Improvements Environmental Assessment.
Complaints Protocol
The Complaints Protocol will be used to respond to and address inquiries and complaints
received during the construction and operation of the undertaking, Spadina Subway
Extension from Downsview to Steeles Avenue, and is detailed in the following sections
namely:
Construction of the Undertaking

Operation of the Undertaking.

2.1.3 Public Communications Tracking System

The TIC has a Public Communications Tracking System (PCTS) which it utilizes to track,
respond and address complaints, suggestions, comments and concerns received from the
general public by mail, e-mail, tdephone, facsimile or TIY. The PCTS is a software
program that the TIC had devdoped specifically to deal with inquiries and complaints
during the implementation phase of capital projects like the Toronto-York Spadina Subway
Extension Project.
The power and capabilities of the PCTS is far-reaching and enables the TIC to input, track,
address, categorize and report on the status of complaints or inquiries at any given time. A
description and summary of PCTS features is provided below which illustrates how the TIC
manages complaints and inquiries in t:imdy and efficient manner.
2.1.3.1
System Description
The PCTS is a web based system that is easily operated and maintained. The system features
are described bdow.
The TIC hosts, uses, and maintains a database mainly used for documenting and
tracking communications with the general public (interested parties or those directly
impacted by construction activities).
Authorized TIC Staff enter details of complaints/inquiries into the database, and
either respond and document the course of action taken, or forward to the
appropriate person for action/ resolution.
When the complaint/inquiry has been referred to a project staff member for
action/ resolution, an automated e-mail notification appears in their Outlook mailbox
to prompt action.
Every action is recorded in the database and automatically receives a date/ time
stamp. In addition, the username of the person that entered the data is noted for
tracking and auditing purposes.
To ensure the integrity of the information, only a user who has been assigned as the
"Administrator" is permitted to ddete a case, action, or attachment from the
database. Administrators may also modify users' access rights or add projects/type of
concern categories to database.
The system has the ability to search for existing persons or organizations to prevent
duplication and to show the history of project-related contact with them.
Management reports to display statistical data may be generated.
Mailing lists for specific projects may be generated (via e-mail or paper copy).

Operation of the Undertaking
The Customer Services Section of the TIC is responsible for receiving, documenting and
responding to complaints from the public about TIC Operations. They are received via
phone, letter, email or personal visit. The most common frequent areas of complaint are
summarized in a monthly report that is presented to Management. The following subsection describes the TIC's Standard Customer Services Operating Procedure.
Page 16
2.2.1 Communication Modes

TelephoneNisit
The Customer Service Representative begins the call by identifying himself/herself with their
first name. (Surnames should be provided upon customer request). When the representative
detennines the nature of the call, one of two actions is taken.
If the call is a complaint with identifying information, it is recorded via an online Customer
Service Communication (CSC) and forwarded to the appropriate operating division or
department.
In cases where the complaint can be resolved to the customer's satisfaction on-the-spot (e.g.
immediate explanation provided for a delay in service), the communication is recorded as a
memo and not circulated.
Letter/Email
The great majority ofletters/ emails are recorded as CSC's. The relevant information is taken
from the letter and keyed into the CSC's Description, Employee and Customer fields. The
letter/ email is scanned into the system as an attachment and the communication is then
forwarded to the responsible division or department.
The only letters/ emails not recorded are requests for schedules, Ride Guides, etc. These
communications are disposed of once the order has been filled and a reply sent. No
outgoing letter is required in these cases, but the representative attaches his/her business
card.
2.2.2 Processing CSC's

PhoneNisit
The customer is asked if he/ she wishes a follow-up reply to the investigation. In order to
have a matter investigated the customer is required to provide identifying information. If the
customer has complied, the esc is forwarded to the division or department for investigation
and response back to Customer Services. Divisions/ departments are allowed 10 business
days to investigate and respond to CSC's. If a reply was requested, the customer is recontacted by telephone with the final response.
If the proper identifying information is not provided as per the agreement, the esc is
forwarded as a Departmental Memorandum, for information purpose only (No response
back from division/ department)
In cases of complaints relating to potential Human Rights or Legal issues, these CSC's are
always forwarded to the department/ division involved for investigation and response,
including_reports where identifying information is not provided.
Page 17
CSC Mail-outs
In cases where telephone complaints involve allegations of operator profanity, racism,
threats or physical contact, the esc is recorded, printed and forwarded to the customer for
sign-off. This allows for formal documentation of the complaints as per the Amalgamated
Transit Agreement.
Letter/Email
It is Customer Services' policy to respond to all written communications. Wherever possible,
the letter/ email is responded to by telephone, and the same process is followed as noted
above. That is, the customer indicates if he/ she desires a reply after the investigation and the
esc is sent to the appropriate division/ department.
If the representative is unable to contact the writer by telephone, an acknowledgement

letter/ email should be sent to the customer as soon as possible. Typically, the letter will
contain an apology where appropriate, and assurance that the incident has been directed to
the proper authorities for resolution. Again, if proper identifying information is provided,
the CSC is forwarded to the division/ department involved for a response. If incomplete, the
letter/ email is dispatched as a Departmental Memorandum.
Response Times
Customer Services' objective for acknowledging all communications is five business days.
For complaints in which the customer wishes a reply following the investigation, the
objective is to provide a final response within 15 business days.
2.2.3 Other CSC's

Executive CSC's
CSC's directed to the Chief General Manager, Chair or a TTC Commissioner are handled in
the same fashion as non-Executive CSC's. The response time allowed is shortened to five
days, to allow for the extra time required for signing off the final letter. That is, a letter is
prepared for the Official's signature, and the response is routed via the appropriate
Managers/GM for approval before being signed.
Legal/Claims CSC's
If a customer report involves a potential claim, Legal/Claims should receive copies of all
correspondence.
Human Rights CSC's

In cases where there are Human Rights allegations, all correspondence with the customer is
to be in writing. Further, Human Rights, Security and Legal must approve all letters before
being sent.
Other TTC Departments
Other TIC departments involved in the CSC process include Planning (route/bus
stop/schedule change requests), Equipment (Cold/hot vehicles), Plant (maintenance
Page 18
concerns), Revenue Operations (foken vending machines), Marketing (Advertising) and the
Spadina Subway Extension Department.
