Misappropriation during streetcar dismantling
Fred Ossanna was convicted of illegally taking personal profit from TCRT during the period in which the company’s streetcar system was being dismantled and replaced with buses. He was imprisoned along with other accomplices. The episode reinforced criticism that the rail conversion involved the extraction of company assets for private benefit rather than only a neutral transportation modernization decision.
