  • Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report 2016
    Acknowledgements We would like to acknowledge the efforts of former Metrolinx Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) members Mr. Sean Henry and Mr. Brian Moore, both of whom stepped down from the AAC in 2016. They provided valuable input into our accessibility planning efforts. We would like to welcome Mr. Gordon Ryall and Ms. Heather Willis, who both joined the Metrolinx AAC in 2015. Lastly, we would like to thank all of the Metrolinx AAC members for the important work they do as volunteers to improve the accessibility of our services. Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report: 2016 1. Introduction The 2016 Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report provides an annual update of the Metrolinx Multi-Year Accessibility Plan published in December 2012, as well as the 2015 Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report. Metrolinx, a Crown agency of the Province of Ontario under the responsibility of the Ministry of Transportation, has three operating divisions: GO Transit, PRESTO and Union Pearson Express. This Status Report, in conjunction with the December 2012 Metrolinx Multi-Year Accessibility Plan, fulfills Metrolinx’s legal obligations for 2016 under the Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ODA), to publish an annual accessibility plan; and also under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), to publish an annual status report on its multi-year plan. The December 2012 Metrolinx Multi-Year Accessibility Plan and other accessibility planning documents can be referenced on the Metrolinx website at the following link: www.metrolinx.com/en/aboutus/accessibility/default.aspx. In accordance with the AODA, it must be updated every five years. Metrolinx, including its operating divisions, remains committed to proceeding with plans to ensure AODA compliance.

  • GO Transit Fare Increase
    Memorandum To: Metrolinx Board of Directors From: Greg Percy President, GO Transit Date: December 3, 2015 Re: Proposed GO Transit Fare Increase Executive Summary As part of the annual business plan process, an extensive review is undertaken of both operating expenses as well as other revenue opportunities to determine if a fare increase is warranted. Effective February 1, 2016, a GO Transit fare increase of approximately 5% is being recommended to meet the needs of our growing customer base and to ensure long term financial sustainability for the corporation. Staff are proposing to continue with a tiered fare increase approach, based on a four-tier system that exemplifies the fare-by-distance approach. Fares for short-distance trips would be frozen under this proposal. Base adult single fares would be increased as follows: Base Adult Single Fares Current Fare Increase Range $5.30 - $5.69 $0.00 $5.70 - $6.50 $0.40 $6.51 - $8.25 $0.50 > $8.25 $0.60 The discounts for the initial Adult PRESTO card fare would be increased from 10% to 11.15%. The discount on the initial PRESTO card fare for a student would increase from 17.25% to 18.40% while the discount on a senior fare would increase from 51.50% to 52.65%. The net result would be an approximate 5% effective rate of increase for the majority of our customers who use the PRESTO card. Additionally, PRESTO users will now pay less for short-distance trips due to the fact that the fares for these trips are not increasing while the initial discount for using PRESTO is increasing.

The city’s public transportation system is not an exception to this pattern. A move away from tokens, tickets, passes and cash and towards smart technology and modernization is excluding a large population of Torontonians who rely on public transportation but lack resources, face limited connectivity and rely on fare subsidy programs and traditional methods of fare payment.

  • Passenger Charter
    PASSENGER CHARTER Year End Report 2016/2017 Dear Customers, This year, GO Transit reaches a milestone as it celebrates its 50th anniversary. What began in 1967 as a 14-stop commuter line from Hamilton to Pickering now runs across seven rail lines, and connects to 17 municipal transit systems across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, with all day, frequent GO bus service complementing GO train trips. The Passenger Charter continues to guide GO’s expansion: we will do our best to be on time; to always take your safety seriously; to keep you in the know; to make your experience comfortable; and to help you quickly and courteously. Each of these promises has a performance standard that we make every effort to achieve, and if there is an area where we didn’t exceed our target, we have a plan to meet it. The promise of an easy commute aboard all-day, two-way electrified train service every 15 minutes on all our owned rail corridors is the driving force behind our vision for GO’s future. Construction of the 25-stop Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) is well underway, and GO will connect with this service at two locations. Shovels have broken ground for the new Bloomington GO station, and the new Downsview Park GO Station and 407 GO Bus Terminal are on schedule to open in December. Enhanced services are also being added, such as making PRESTO cards easier to purchase and load at various retail locations; installing mobile charging stations on our rail coaches; introducing corridor-specific Twitter handles to provide real-time and relevant updates; and automated announcements have been introduced to keep you “in the know.” We’re here to listen to what you have to say.

Metrolinx is championing long-term transportation and transit solutions that enhance prosperity, sustainability, and quality of life. Currently there are more than 200 projects underway across the region. More than $16 billion in investment has been made and construction is under way on our First Wave of projects, helping to realize the Big Move vision. More is yet to come. At our recent Board of Directors meeting, updates were provided on the following projects. GO Regional Express Rail Metrolinx is working with the Government of Ontario to bring faster, more reliable service to the GO network, a 10-year program that will provide significant new travel choices across the GTHA. With 63 existing stations and 7 stations currently planned or under construction, the GO Train network is the backbone of our regional transit network. More GO rail service will mean all-day electrified service every 15-minutes or better in both directions through core areas and running four times the number of off- peak trips including evenings and weekends with a mix of all-stop and express service to meet demand and reduce travel times.

  • Capital Projects Group
    Memorandum To: Metrolinx Board of Directors From: John Jensen Chief Capital Officer, Capital Projects Group Date: February 17, 2017 Re: Capital Projects Group Quarterly Report: February 2017 Recommendation That this report is received for information. Executive Summary The Capital Projects Group (CPG) is advancing a large and growing program, involving signature projects like Regional Express Rail (RER), the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, the Finch West LRT, the Hurontario LRT and the Hamilton LRT. Each project has its own profile in terms of schedule, budget and risk management plan. In addition to managing specific projects, work is also underway to enhance overall program management systems, controls and processes in order to improve outcomes, apply consistent and replicable standards and monitor the entire program in a more comprehensive fashion. In December 2016, the Metrolinx Board of Directors approved 12 new stations (including stations for SmartTrack) as part of the RER program. The 12 stations were agreed to by Metrolinx and relevant municipal councils (City of Toronto, Township of Woolwich, Region of Waterloo, Town of Innisfil, City of Vaughan, Region of York and Town of Newmarket). Further planning will continue over the next few months in consultation with the public and municipalities. CPG and Planning and Policy are working together to advance the planning of these stations. Metrolinx’s major capital projects are currently on-time and on-budget, as shown in Table 1. Table 1: Project Status Approved Budget for In-Service Corridor
