Earlier this week, TOK Transit, a subsidiary of Tokmakjian Inc., was awarded a four-year contract to operate York's northern routes.
A major remaining issue in the dispute is the fate of 92 striking workers at First Student, which lost the contract with York Region less than two weeks ago. Local 1587 will be taking legal steps to have the new contractor, Tokmajian-Can-Ar, hire the former First Student workers.
Fort Erie Transit is administrated by the Corporation of the Town of Fort Erie. Our Operator is Tokmakjian Inc. aka TOK Group. TOK Group has been providing transit in Fort Erie since 2012.
