SUMMARY Toronto has a well-developed public transport network in the city core, but suburban areas are underserved and highly congested. Recent investments aim to address this problem by building new rapid transit routes and plans are in place to improve integration across transit authorities throughout the larger metropolitan area. The city is open to embracing Future of Mobility technologies and has included space for these in its regional transport plan. Metrolinx is committed to reducing the reliance on private cars in the region through initiatives such as Smart Commute and development of rapid transit corridors. The government of Ontario has committed funding aimed at increasing adoption of electric vehicles but the city’s EV infrastructure still lags behind.

  • APPENDIX 5 February 2013
    APPENDIX 5 February 2013 APPENDIX 5 APPENDIX 5-A Paper #5a Transit Service and Infrastructure Paper #5a TRANSIT SERVICE AND INFRASTRUCTURE This paper outlines public transit service within the Town of Oakville, identifies the role of public transit within the objectives of the Livable Oakville Plan and the North Oakville Secondary Plans, outlines the current transit initiatives and identifies future transit strategies and alternatives. This report provides an assessment of target transit modal share, the level of investment required to achieve these targets and the anticipated effectiveness of alternative transit investment strategies. This paper will provide strategic direction and recommendations for Oakville Transit, GO Transit and VIA Rail service, and identify opportunities to better integrate transit with other modes of transportation, such as walking and cycling, as well as providing for accessible services. 1.0 The Role of Transit in Oakville 1.1. Provincial Policy The Province of Ontario has provided direction to municipalities regarding growth and the relationship between growth and sustainable forms of travel including public transit. Transit is seen to play a key role in addressing the growth pressures faced by municipalities in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, including the Town of Oakville. In June 2006, the Province of Ontario released a Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The plan is a framework for implementing the Province’s vision for building stronger, prosperous communities by better managing growth in the region to 2031. The plan outlines strategies for managing growth with emphasis on reducing dependence on the automobile and “promotes transit, cycling and walking”. In addition, the plan establishes “urban growth centres” as locations for accommodating a significant share of population and employment growth.

  • Miway - Update on Presto Device Refresh
    9.3 Date: January 25, 2021 Originator’s files: To: Mayor and Members of Council From: Geoff Wright, P.Eng, MBA, Commissioner of Meeting date: Transportation and Works February 10, 2021 Subject MiWay - Update on Presto Device Refresh Recommendation That the report titled “MiWay - Update on Presto Device Refresh“ dated January 25, 2021 from the Commissioner of Transportation and Works, providing an update on Presto Device Refresh along with capital costs incurred, be received for information. Report Highlights On December 6, 2017, Council approved the new Presto Operating Agreement (valid till 2027). The Director of Transit was authorized to procure directly from Metrolinx, and directly from PRESTO subcontractors, for PRESTO related services, technology, equipment, and infrastructure as defined in the Operating Agreement, subject to budget approval. The Presto Device Refresh Project was initiated (led by Metrolinx/PRESTO in collaboration with MiWay and other GTHA transit partners) in 2017/2018 to replace aging bus and station equipment. New devices have been installed on all MiWay Transit buses and in fixed locations (Bus Terminals, Community Centers) as of December 2020. These devices are built on a modern high performance, high security platform. This new platform provides PRESTO and MiWay with a futureproof solution that will enable new, flexible fare collection options such as time of day pricing, capping, e- Ticketing and open payments. The necessary capital budget required to support this critical business system initiative has been requested through the City’s business planning process. 9.3 General Committee 2021/01/25 2 Background The existing Presto fare collection equipment was developed prior to 2010 and deployed in late 2010 on MiWay buses.

  • Cross-Boundary Transit Service Integration Pilot Project
    9.8 Date: May 25, 2021 Originator’s files: To: Chair and Members of General Committee From: Geoff Wright, P.Eng, MBA, Commissioner of Meeting date: Transportation and Works June 9, 2021 Subject Cross-Boundary Transit Service Integration Pilot Project Recommendation 1. That the report to General Committee entitled “Cross-Boundary Transit Service Integration Pilot Project” dated May 25, 2021 from the Commissioner of Transportation and Works be received for information. 2. That Phase 1 of the Service Integration Pilot Project recommendations for enhanced cross-boundary travel be received for information. Executive Summary The Ministry of Transportation has convened a Fare and Service Integration (FSI) Provincial-Municipal Table that includes representatives of all transit agencies and aims to improve connections and the customer experience for inter-municipal transit travel. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has engaged a consultant team to develop an agency-driven FSI model to present to the Provincial-Municipal Table in partnership with surrounding transit agencies including MiWay. Currently MiWay, along with several other 905 agencies, are prohibited from providing local service within City of Toronto, resulting in TTC providing duplicate service for their residents. In addition, transit fares are not integrated between the TTC and MiWay. In partnership with the TTC, the Burnhamthorpe Road corridor has been selected for a transit service integration pilot project in the near-term (targeting fall 2021). 9.8 General Committee 2021/05/25 2 Background For decades, transit service integration has been discussed and studied in the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA). The Ministry of Transportation’s newly convened Fare and Service Integration (FSI) Provincial-Municipal Table consists of senior representatives from transit systems within the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA) and the broader GO Transit service area.

  • A Tale of 40 Cities: a Preliminary Analysis of Equity Impacts of COVID-19 Service Adjustments Across North America July 2020 Mc
    A tale of 40 cities: A preliminary analysis of equity impacts of COVID-19 service adjustments across North America James DeWeese, Leila Hawa, Hanna Demyk, Zane Davey, Anastasia Belikow, and Ahmed El-Geneidy July 2020 McGill University Abstract To cope with COVID-19 confinement measures and precipitous declines in ridership, public transport agencies across North America have made significant adjustments to their services, slashing trip frequency in many areas while increasing it in others. These adjustments, especially service cuts, appear to have disproportionately affected areas where lower income and more- vulnerable groups reside in North American Cities. This paper compares changes in service frequency across 30 U.S. and 10 Canadian cities, linking these changes to average income levels and a vulnerability index. The study highlights the wide range of service outcomes while underscoring the potential for best practices that explicitly account for vertical equity, or social justice, in their impacts when adjusting service levels. Research Question and Data Public transport ridership in North American Cities declined dramatically by the end of March 2020 as governments applied confinement measures in response to COVID-19 pandemic (Hart, 2020; Vijaya, 2020). In an industry that depends heavily on fare-box recovery to pay for operations and sometimes infrastructure loans (Verbich, Badami, & El-Geneidy, 2017), transport agencies faced major financial strains, even as the pandemic magnified their role as a critical public service, ferrying essential, often low-income, workers with limited alternatives to their jobs (Deng, Morissette, & Messacar, 2020). Public transport agencies also faced major operating difficulties due to absenteeism among operators (Hamilton Spectator, 2020) and enhanced cleaning protocols.

  • Transit Agency Responses to COVID-19: a Review of Challenges and Opportunities for Continued Service Delivery
    Transit Agency Responses to COVID-19: A review of challenges and opportunities for continued service delivery By: Ellen McGowan April 2021 School of Urban and Regional Planning Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada Supervisor: Dr. Ajay Agarwal Copyright © Ellen McGowan 2021 Acknowledgements I would first like to acknowledge my supervisor, Dr. Ajay Agarwal, whose expertise was invaluable in formulating the research questions and methodology. Thank you for your support and generosity over the last two years. I would like to thank the Norman D. Wilson Fellowship for funding this research. I would also like to thank my parents and Mark for their endless encouragement. Finally, I could not have completed this report without the support of my friends at SURP. Although our time together was cut short, I’m grateful for all that first year brought us. 2 Executive Summary Background & Context The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has radically impacted public transport ridership and service provision across the country. Since the outbreak of the virus, transit agencies have had to adapt to new and rapidly evolving conditions. Many agencies modified services to reflect lower ridership levels and to ensure the safety of both riders and operators. These changes in service were guided by public health agencies, as well as major transit associations like the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA) and International Association of Public Transport (UITP). Other agencies implemented precautionary measures like rear door boarding, temporary fare suspension, and reduced capacity limits to enable the safe continuity of operations. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, transit agencies are having to strike a balance between providing enough transportation options for essential travel and reducing service offerings to match the declining overall demand for mobility services.

  • Grand River Transit Business Plan 2017 - 2021
    Grand River Transit Business Plan 2017 - 2021 C2015-16 September 22 2015 March 2018 Dear Friends, Since Grand River Transit (GRT) was established in January 2000, multi-year business plans have guided Council in making significant operating and capital investments in public transit, taking us from a ridership of 9.4 million in 2000 to 19.7 million in 2017. The GRT Business Plan (2017-2021) will guide the planned improvements to the Regional transit network and service levels over the next five years to achieve the Regional Transportation Master Plan ridership target of 28 million annual riders by 2021. Increasing the share of travel by transit supports the Regional goals of managing growth sustainably, improving air quality, and contributing to a thriving and liveable community. Over the next five years, GRT will experience a quantum leap as a competitive travel option for many residents of Waterloo Region. This is the result of significant improvements to the service including the start of LRT service, completion of the iXpress network, continued improvement to service levels with a focus on more frequent service, the introduction of new and enhanced passenger facilities, and the implementation of the EasyGO fare card system. The proposed transit network and annual service improvement plans will be refined annually based on public feedback and changing land use and travel patterns. The implementation of annual service improvements would then be subject to annual budget deliberations and Regional Council approvals. The new GRT Business Plan (2017-2021) builds on the successes of the previous business plans and on GRT’s solid organizational and infrastructure foundation.
