Quebec-Windsor Intercity Modal Choice Survey

Dear Survey Respondent, You have been chosen to participate in a research study conducted by the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto. The aim of this study is to better understand a trip makers’ decision process when travelling between cities in Canada.

We are contacting a random sample of people in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) to gather information on their local and intercity trip mode choices. Collected information will be anonymous and stored on secured servers. This data will only be used for research at the University of Toronto.

The survey is designed to be as short as possible and will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Your cooperation and time are highly appreciated.

Please note that at any point in the survey, it is possible to revise previously answered questions. You can also leave the session and complete the survey at a later time (if web cookies are enabled on your internet browser). If you exit the survey accidentally, you can restart using the same link that you used to start the survey; however, in this case it is possible that the entries you have already made may be lost.

If you lose your Internet connection for a short time, it is usually possible to continue normally once the connection is restored, as long as your browser is still open at the page you were on.

Yours sincerely, Billy Wong M.ASc Candidate Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto

What is intercity travel?

Intercity travel are any trips made where the destination is not located in the same urban area boundaries as the origin location. For example, a trip from Toronto to Montreal would be considered an intercity trip.

How can I make an intercity trip?

Intercity trips can be made through a variety of travel modes. The most popular modes of travel are personal vehicles, bus (such as Megabus and Greyhound), rail (such as Via Rail), or airplane. Non-motorized modes are not normally feasible for such trips.

What about trips within the GTA (ie between Mississauga and Markham)?

For the scope of this research, trips between municipalities in the GTA are considered local trips. However, we are still interested in understanding the frequency of travel within the GTA compared to an individual's intercity trip frequency.

What about trips between the GTA and Hamilton?

Under the scope of this project, trips between Hamilton and the GTA are considered intercity trips.

1. If you any any further questions about intercity trips, please feel free to ask in the box below. these suggestions will be helpful for future research purposes.

Quebec-Windsor Intercity Modal Choice Survey

The following section investigates how different factors influence your choice for how you make intercity trips. For each of the six situations presented, choose the transportation type that you are most likely to take given the information presented.

For bus, rail, and airplane travel types, there are a number of methods to get to the departure station. For example, an individual from downtown Toronto may use the TTC to get to Pearson International Airport to fly to Montreal.

For intercity bus trips (Megabus or Greyhound), the departure station is the bus terminal at Toronto Coach Terminal located at Bay & Dundas, near the Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto. For intercity train trips (Via Rail or high speed rail), the departure station is at Union Station in downtown Toronto. For intercity airplane trips (Air Canada or Westjet), the departure station is at Pearson International Airport located in Mississauga.

This stated preference section is independent from any previous trips that may have been made. For each of the six situations, you are

travelling to a chosen location in Montreal from your home location. It is assumed that you are headed directly to your destination using the shortest distance possible with no prolonged stops along the way.

    ARNNUAL EPORT 2003 2003 ANNUAL REPORT Toronto Transit Commission As at December 31, 2003 Chair Vice-Chair Howard Moscoe Joe Mihevc Commissioners Mayor Brian Ashton Bas Balkissoon Sandra Bussin Adam Giambrone Peter Li Preti David Miller David Shiner Letter from the Chair DATE: June, 2004 TO: MAYOR DAVID MILLER AND COUNCILLORS OF THE CITY OF TORONTO It is with pride that I submit the 2003 Annual Report for the Toronto Transit Commission (the “TTC”). 2003 was yet another year filled with challenges for the City’s public transit authority. The year began with a Commission-approved, standard 10-cent fare increase and proportionate increases to all other fare media. The roller coaster ride took off from there. The City of Toronto faced some difficulties in 2003, and the TTC felt them every step of the way – Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) hurt tourism, West Nile Virus kept people indoors, and the blackout in August stopped everything in sight, including the economy. Throughout it all, the TTC workforce did their best to keep us on the move – proof positive that the Commission’s greatest asset is its employees. They stepped up and turned each negative story into a positive one. In March, the SARS crisis caused a significant dip in ridership. The Commission estimated a loss of about 3.5 million riders as a result of the outbreak, which lasted several months. A further 1 million rides were lost due to the extended economic slowdown. However, the excellent TTC service proved to be a big hit with many of the 400,000 Rolling Stones fans attending a special SARS benefit concert at Downsview Park on July 30.

The 2019 accounting surplus is $485.6 million and is comprised mainly of the value of capital asset additions, partially offset by depreciation of assets in use and the loss recorded on the Provincial Expansion Project upload. Operating activities do not generally contribute to the accounting surplus or shortfall as the operating expenses are funded in full by operating revenues and subsidies received. Recommendations It is recommended that the TTC Audit and Risk Management Committee: 1. Approve this report; and 2. Forward a copy of this report to the TTC Board and to the City Clerk for submission to the next City Audit Committee meeting. Implementation Points This report requires approval at the June 3, 2020 TTC Audit & Risk Management Committee Meeting to ensure timely submission to the June 17, 2020 TTC Board Meeting and then to the City Audit Committee Meeting of the City of Toronto.
