  • UP Express Pricing Strategy Staff Report
    To: Metrolinx Board of Directors From: Kathy Haley, President, Union Pearson Express Date: December 11, 2014 Re: UP Express Pricing Strategy Staff Report 1. Executive Summary With the launch of Union Pearson (UP) Express in spring 2015, Toronto will join the ranks of other world class cities with an express rail service between downtown and the airport. UP Express will provide travellers with a fast, simple route that takes 25 minutes, and departs every 15 minutes for 19.5 hours a day. To inform the fare structure, research and analysis was completed on market trends and passenger demographics, as well as benchmarking against local and international transportation modes. UP Express has developed a fare structure based on the principles of Distance (fare by distance), Discounts (to build ridership), and Demand (ensuring enough ridership). The proposed UP Express one-way adult fare from Union Station and Toronto Pearson is $19 with the PRESTO card or $27.50 fare without the PRESTO card. Staff are proposing discounted prices for families, children, students, seniors, and airport employees who have a valid Toronto Pearson identification card. The proposed fare structure builds in the elimination of the $1.85 access fee originally required by the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA). 2. Recommendation Be it Resolved that: The Board of Directors approve the recommended fare structures as presented by UP Express on December 11, 2014. 3. Project Background Toronto’s dedicated Air Rail Link (ARL), the Union Pearson (UP) Express, is launching in spring 2015 and will be owned and operated by Metrolinx. The project is currently on-time and on-budget, and when launched it will run between Canada’s two busiest passenger transport hubs – Union Station in downtown Toronto and the Toronto Pearson International Airport (Toronto Pearson).

  • Transportation Factsheet Overview
    Transportation Factsheet Overview Whether it’s by car, bicycle, transit or walking, being able to move around easily is an important component of a healthy and dynamic city. Transportation has been identified as the most important issue by many Torontonians. This is likely because it’s becoming increasingly difficult to travel within and between cities in the region (Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA)). There are a number of key issues affecting our region’s mobility. There has been a lack of transit infrastructure investment (streetcars, subways, light rail) from all levels of government over the past several decades; Development and growth within the suburbs means increased traffic congestion coming from all areas of the GTHA but there are difficulties in managing regional transportation Office space is scattered throughout the GTA and much of it is not located close to rapid transit, making commuting by transit difficult. (Think about offices and businesses at the Airport Corporate Centre in Mississauga – it’s very difficult to get there by transit); Generally our roads were built to accommodate cars. Cycling is becoming more popular, especially in urban centres like Toronto. However, cities in the GTHA have been slow to adapt and invest in cycling infrastructure; The suburbs that are throughout the GTA were made for the car, low density making servicing those areas by transit expensive. Transit affordability has been an ongoing concern for the City and with the recent increase in TTC fares, this is only going to get worse. Currently, every TTC rider pays the same adult, senior, student, or child fare, regardless of their ability to pay.

  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.

  • Design and Control of Resilient Interconnected Microgrids for Reliable Mass Transit Systems
    Design and Control of Resilient Interconnected Microgrids for Reliable Mass Transit Systems by Taylor J. G. Egan A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science University of Ontario Institute of Technology Oshawa, Ontario, Canada March 2019 c Taylor J. G. Egan 2019 THESIS EXAMINATION INFORMATION Submitted by: Taylor J. G. Egan Master of Applied Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering Thesis title: Design and Control of Resilient Interconnected Microgrids for Reliable Mass Transit Systems An oral defense of this thesis took place on September 13, 2018 in front of the following examining committee: Examining Committee: Chair of Examining Committee Dr. Shahryar Rahnamayan Research Supervisor Dr. Hossam Gaber Research Co-supervisor Dr. Ruth Milman Examining Committee Member Dr. Mohammed Youssef University Examiner Dr. Ibrahim Dincer The above committee determined that the thesis is acceptable in form and content and that a satisfactory knowledge of the field covered by the thesis was demonstrated by the candidate during an oral examination. A signed copy of the Certificate of Approval is available from the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. ii Abstract Mass transit systems are relied on a daily basis to transport millions of passen- gers and bring billions of dollars' worth of economic goods to market. While some forms of mass transit rely on a fuel, electrified railway systems are dependent on the electric grid. The electric grid is becoming more vulnerable to disruptions, due to extreme weather, changing supply and demand patterns, and cyber-terrorism.

  • UP Express Electrification EA Noise and Vibration Assessment Report
    UP Express Electrification EA Noise and Vibration Assessment Report FINAL Project No. 1124019.00 March, 2014 UP Express Electrification EA FINAL Impact Assessment Report – Noise and Vibration Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to document the noise and vibration Baseline Conditions (Part A) and Impact Assessment (Part B) that was completed as part of the UP Express Electrification EA. Baseline conditions were established using modelling and measurements that were completed in support of previous Georgetown South Service Expansion and Union Pearson Rail Link (GSSE-UPRL) EA reports completed by Metrolinx. Operational noise and vibration impacts have been evaluated based on guidance from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) for evaluation of rail transportation projects (i.e., the UP Express service) and stationary sources (i.e., supporting facilities including paralleling stations and EMU maintenance facility). Noise and vibration impacts from construction activities associated with the UP Express project have been considered in accordance with the requirements of the applicable MOE guidelines and best practices. The UP Express service will also include transformer stations associated with the Traction Power Supply system. The Traction Power Supply system is subject to the provincial Environmental Assessment Act in accordance with the Class EA for Minor Transmission Facilities. Therefore, the potential effects related to the new TPS are being assessed by Hydro One as part of this separate Class EA process (refer to the Hydro One Union Pearson Express Electrification Traction Power Supply System Class Environmental Assessment - Draft Environmental Study Report). The UP Express service will commence operations with train sets comprised of Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs).
