Ottawa Now - How the federal RTO mandates could impact Ottawa's future commutes

February 9, 2026

Effective this July, federal public servants will be ordered back to their workstations 4 days a week, with executives receiving a full work-week order. Just days after the Carney government unveiled this plan, Carleton MP Bruce Fanjoy is calling on his own party to reconsider the RTO mandate. Tyler Chamberlin is an Associate Professor at UOttawa’s Telfer School of Management. He dissects the public transportation effects of this mandate, as OC Transpo tries to address recent LRT repairs and bus fleet delays. And if it's too inconvenient for some workers, they might have to move into a different area of the city just to keep their jobs.
