  • Routing Changes - Junction Area Study Update
    For Action Routing Changes - Junction Area Study Update Date: July 10, 2018 To: TTC Board From: Chief Customer Officer Summary The TTC bus network is very mature. In order to ensure that the network continues to reflect the way our customers travel across the city, staff has developed a program to review different segments of the city over time. This report provides an update on the status of the Junction Area Study. The objective of the study is to improve transit travel for customers by restructuring the bus route network in the Junction Area. In spring 2017, the TTC began the study with a customer survey to better understand customer travel patterns in the Junction Area. Feedback was also collected on existing services to identify key concerns for customers. Three key issues were identified: • No continuous transit service along Dundas Street West between Dundas West Station and Kipling Station; • No continuous transit service along St Clair Avenue West between Gunn's Loop (Weston Road) and Scarlett Road; and, • Need to extend the 80 Queensway from its current eastern terminus at Humber Loop to Keele Station via Parkside Drive in the late evening and on Sundays and holidays. Based on this feedback, staff prepared and proposed a preliminary transit network to reflect the data collected and address concerns raised by customers. The new transit network includes a number of service proposals that include restructuring and rationalizing existing services and improving periods of service on routes. In May 2018, the TTC held public information sessions at Runnymede, High Park, and Dundas West stations, and Gunn’s Loop to share the proposed transit network with customers and to collect feedback on the proposals.

  • Scarborough Centre on the Move
    PILLAR TWO SUPPORT TRANSIT & INNOVATIVE MOBILITY SOLUTIONS Scarborough Centre on the Move Transportation6 Master Plan 97 Pillar Two Support Transit & Innovative Mobility 6 Solutions The second study pillar is the promotion of transit and innovative mobility solutions to move more people through the transportation system efficiently. Transit-oriented development and support of transit investment in key areas is emphasized in planning and policy documents including provincial plans such as the Regional Transportation Plan (The Big Move) and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, municipal plans such as the City of Toronto Official Plan and City of Toronto Complete Streets Guidelines (CSG), and local policies such as the Scarborough Centre Secondary Plan and McCowan Precinct plan. The benefits of transit are described in this chapter, along with details on the existing and proposed transit network and supporting strategies. This chapter includes mobility options such as local buses, subways, rapid transit (RT), autonomous vehicles, and other “smart” technologies that improve network efficiency. 6.1 Benefits Social Equity The regional transportation plan, the Big Move, envisions that 80% of residents will live within two kilometres of rapid transit, citing that access to frequent, fast, and affordable transit is crucial for social equity and cohesion. Transit provides access to society and the economy, particularly for those with low incomes who cannot afford to own and maintain a personal vehicle, as well as individuals unable to operate a vehicle, including the youth or elderly. Transit service helps integrate individuals into communities and regions to allow overall participation in employment opportunities and other activities.

  • Mobility Hubs December 2008
    Mobility Hubs December 2008 1. Introduction This is one in a series of backgrounders that have been produced by Metrolinx to provide further explanation and clarification on the policies and directions of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The RTP is available for downloading at www.metrolinx.com. This backgrounder should be read as an accompaniment to Strategy 7 of the RTP. It is intended to provide additional detail on the mobility hub policies of the RTP and clarification of the terms and definitions used in the RTP with respect to mobility hubs. Metrolinx wishes to acknowledge the invaluable contribution of Urban Strategies Inc. and IBI Group to the preparation of this backgrounder. 2. What is a Mobility Hub? The mobility hub policies of the RTP build on the overall policy framework established in the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, particularly those related to major transit station areas. The Growth Plan defines major transit station areas as the area within a 500m radius (10 minute walk) of any existing or planned higher order transit station within a settlement area or around a major bus depot in an urban core. Major transit station areas that are particularly significant for the regional rapid transit system are recognized as mobility hubs in the RTP. Mobility hubs are major transit station areas with significant levels of transit service planned for them in the RTP, high development potential, and a critical function in the regional transportation system as major trip generators. They are places of connectivity where different modes of transportation — from walking to high- speed rail — come together seamlessly and where there is an intensive concentration of employment, living, shopping and/or recreation.

  • Assessment of Provincial Proposals Line 2 East Extension
    EX9.1 Attachment 5 – Assessment of Provincial Proposals Line 2 East Extension As directed by City Council in April 2019, City and TTC staff have assessed the Province’s proposed 3-stop Line 2 East Extension. The details of this assessment are provided in this attachment. 1. Project Summary 1.1 Project Description The Line 2 East Extension (L2EE), as proposed by the Province, is an approximately 8 kilometre underground extension of Line 2 Bloor-Danforth from Kennedy Station that will have three stations – at Lawrence and McCowan, Scarborough Centre and Sheppard and McCowan, as shown in Figure 1. The Province's plan for the L2EE is similar to what was being planned by the City and TTC prior to 2016. Figure 1 - Line 2 East Extension Reference Map Note: Map produced by City/TTC based on current understanding of project Attachment 5 – Assessment of Line 2 East Extension Page 1 of 9 As proposed, the extension will be fully integrated with the existing Line 2 and have through service at Kennedy Station. A turn-back may be included east of Kennedy Station to enable reduced service to Scarborough Centre, subject to demand and service standards. The extension will require approximately seven additional six-car, 138-metre-long trains to provide the service. The trains would be interoperable with the other trains on Line 2. With the station at Sheppard and McCowan supporting storage of up to six trains, there is sufficient storage and maintenance capacity existing at the TTC’s Line 2 storage and maintenance facilities to accommodate this increase in fleet size.

  • TTC 2022 Annual Service Plan Stakeholder Meeting 1 Summary Thursday, June 24, 2021 2:00 – 4:00 Pm Meeting Held Online
    TTC 2022 Annual Service Plan Stakeholder Meeting 1 Summary Thursday, June 24, 2021 2:00 – 4:00 pm Meeting held online Overview On Thursday, June 24th, 2021, the TTC hosted the first of two planned rounds of stakeholder consultation about its 2022 Annual Service Plan. The stakeholder group engaged includes representatives of city-wide and area-specific organizations with an interest in transit and service planning (see Participant List attached). This first round of consultation included both an afternoon session and an evening session, both of which covered the same material and discussion questions, and, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, took place via web conferencing software. This stakeholder meeting summary covers the afternoon session, which ran from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. Approximately 8 participants attended the afternoon stakeholder meeting, along with staff from the TTC and Swerhun Inc., the third-party facilitation and engagement team retained by the TTC to support the consultation process on the 2022 Annual Service Plan. The purpose of the meeting was to share and seek feedback on the draft initiatives and priorities for the 2022 Annual Service Plan. The meeting included an overview presentation, question and answer period, and a facilitated, plenary discussion. Attachments included: Attachment 1. Agenda and Attachment 2. Participant List Swerhun Inc. prepared this meeting summary. A draft of the summary was subject to participant review before being finalized. The intent of this summary is to capture the range of feedback shared at the workshop; it is not intended to serve as verbatim transcript. The TTC will also post the final summary on the project website, along with summaries from other engagement activities.
