  • Smarttrack Ridership Analysis
    SMARTTRACK RIDERSHIP ANALYSIS PROJECT FINAL REPORT Prepared for the City Manager, City of Toronto by: Eric J. Miller, Ph.D. Professor, Department of Civil Engineering Director, Transportation Research Institute Research Director, Travel Modelling Group University of Toronto James Vaughan & Monika Nasterska Travel Modelling Group, University of Toronto Transportation Research Institute June, 2016 i Executive Summary Project Objectives On December 11, 2014, City Council directed the City Manager in consultation with the Province/Metrolinx to develop a work plan to undertake an accelerated review of the SmartTrack and RER plans. Council also directed the City Manager to retain the specialized services of the University of Toronto Transportation Research Institute (UTTRI) to support the planning analysis and required transit ridership modelling as a component of the overall review.1 On February 10, 2015, City Council considered the report EX2.2 SmartTrack Work Plan (2015- 2016), and approved the accelerated work plan for the review of SmartTrack.2 The UTTRI component of this work was to provide transit ridership estimates and other key network performance measures using the City’s new Regional Travel Demand Model (GTAModel Version 4.0) developed at the University of Toronto by UTTRI. As detailed in the final Terms of Reference for the UTTRI work, this work included: • Confirming the integrated RER and SmartTrack Service Concept to be modelled. • Completion and validation of a new travel demand model system to be used by the City of Toronto in this and similar studies of transit ridership and travel demand. • Development and review of forecasting assumptions that provide key inputs into the transit ridership forecasts.

  • PIC #5 Internet
    Welcome to Open House #5 Scarborough Rapid Transit .0'*9:,"9=Q:898 *#1#1'%,', Welcome to the Scarborough Rapid Transit (SRT) Conversion and Extension Study, including Kennedy Station improvements. Tonight’s event provides details on: • Recommended plan for the Scarborough RT, including changes to: • Kennedy Station • Conversion of the existing line • Extension into northeast Scarborough These boards also outline the recommended methods of construction and the identification of potential impacts and mitigating measures. This work is being done in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process and will support an Official Plan Amendment. 2 In 2008, The Province of Ontario enacted Regulation 231/08 (Transit Projects Regulation) which allows proponents like the Toronto Transit Commission to undertake an assessment of potential environmental impacts within a six month period. Matters of local importance will be discussed at upcoming Toronto Transit Commission and City of Toronto Council Meetings. 3 The amendment to Map 4 will involve the following: 1. Deletion of the transit corridor identified from McCowan Station, the existing terminus of the Scarborough Rapid Transit system, easterly to Markham Road and north along Markham Road to Steeles Avenue and potentially beyond; 2. Addition of a transit corridor from McCowan Station at the existing terminus of the Scarborough Rapid Transit system, easterly and northerly to the McLevin Avenue/Neilson Road area; and 3. Addition of a future maintenance and service facility to service the transit vehicles around the Bellamy Road area. The amendment to Map 5 will involve the following: 1. Addition of surface transit priority on Progress Avenue for the non revenue service connection.

  • Federal Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF)
    STAFF REPORT Insert TTC logo here INFORMATION ONLY Federal Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF) Date: September 6, 2016 To: TTC Budget Committee From: Chief Executive Officer Summary This report provides details on the Federal Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF) and the projects funded. Financial Summary The financial impacts of the Federal PTIF are referenced in the body of the report. Links to the subject budgets are also found in the report. Accessibility/Equity Matters Under this 10-year Capital Program, all required capital expenditures needed to make the TTC fully complied with AODA requirements and to meet all of the TTC equity goals have been fully provided for. Comments 2016 Federal Budget On March 22, 2016, the 2016 Federal Budget was announced and included a plan to invest more than $120 billion in infrastructure over the next 10 years. This plan will be implemented in two phases. Phase I – Canada’s New Infrastructure Plan – the government will focus primarily on infrastructure investments to modernize and rehabilitate public transit, water and wastewater systems, provide affordable housing, and protect existing infrastructure from the effects of climate change. This phase of the Government’s infrastructure plan proposes to provide $11.9 billion over five years, starting right away. Budget 2016 puts this plan into action with an immediate down payment on this plan, including $3.4 billion over three years to upgrade and improve public transit systems across Canada. To get projects moving quickly, the Government announced that they will fund up to 50 per cent of eligible costs for projects. Funding under the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF) program will be allocated to municipalities based on ridership.

They will guide the Class EA, engagement activities, and restoration for the hydro corridor. BLUEPRINT FOR REVITALIZATION CONNECTIONS COMMUNITY & PUBLIC REALM NATURAL ENVIRONMENT & EDUCATION TRANSPORTATION RECREATION N Existing Conditions Transportation Public transit within the Regional and Local Study Area is provided by TTC Bus Service and Subway Line 3, GO Transit (Stouffville), and VIA Rail. In addition, a number of large transportation planning initiatives are being planned for the area and will intersect with The Meadoway, including the Eglinton LRT, the Eglinton East LRT, the Stouffville GO Expansion, and the Scarborough Subway Extension. The Meadoway aligns with the City of Toronto’s TransformTO Climate Action Strategy through the development and improvement of active transportation networks, providing greater access to alternative commuting modes and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
