Brad Bradford released a five-point list of actions he says he would take in his first 100 days as mayor, four days before the October 26 vote. Olivia Chow, the incumbent, outlined a separate set of affordability proposals the same day. NOW Toronto reported both campaigns' announcements on October 22.

[Bradford](/on/toronto-2026/candidates/brad-bradford) framed his list as things a new mayor could decide on without a long study period. "I'm a city planner by training. I know how cities are supposed to work, and I know what it takes to get City Hall moving. None of this requires a year of study. It requires a decision," the campaign quoted him saying.

## Bradford's five points

The first point is public safety. His campaign says it would place a police officer at every subway station and work toward 1,000 net new frontline officers by the end of his first term. These are the campaign's stated targets, not approved police budgets.

The second point covers transit and roads. His campaign says it would deliver a business case for the Scarborough East LRT to the province and the federal government and would remove bus lanes on Kingston Road, Morningside Avenue, Kennedy Road, and Midland Road.

The third point is a spending review. The campaign says Bradford would order an independent, line-by-line review of city spending on his first day in office and would make the findings public.

The fourth point is the budget. The campaign says it would table a city budget within 100 days, with a property tax freeze, the removal of the municipal land transfer tax, and a 25 percent cut to water bills. Any budget would need approval from city council.

The fifth point is youth jobs. The campaign says it would launch what it calls the Toronto Youth Employment Challenge, with a goal it puts at 5,000 new private-sector jobs for young Torontonians in the first year.

## Chow's affordability proposals

[Chow's](/on/toronto-2026/candidates/olivia-chow) campaign outlined affordability measures the same day. Her campaign says it would make TTC rides free after 10 trips in a week, down from the current threshold of 47 trips. It would also offer tax cuts for independent grocery stores, ban surveillance pricing, and expand free weekend children's programming at Toronto Public Library branches. Her campaign also says it would break ground on 10,000 homes in the next year and expand the city's Bad Landlords Task Force.

Chow told reporters, as quoted by NOW Toronto: "Every day I hear from people who are doing everything right and still falling behind. They're putting groceries back, skipping trips, wondering where they can take their kids that doesn't cost a fortune."
