  • Annual Average Daily Traffic (Aadt)
    ANNUAL AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC (AADT) AADT volumes are generated through the use of two types of automated counting stations, Permanent Count Stations (PCS) and Automatic Traffi c Recorder (ATR) counts strategically placed throughout the Region. A full copy of the AADT Report is available through: As each ATR count only captures traffi c a few days a year (typically a consecutive seven day period), a PCS station, which has similar characteristics, is a control Road Safety & Traffi c Data station. Since a full year’s worth of traffi c counts can be obtained from the PCS Management stations, factors (on a half-month basis) for each control station are calculated Transportation and Community Planning and subsequently used to adjust for any seasonal variation in the non- permanent stations to calculate a Week Day (WDAADT) average and a Seven Day 905-895-1200, ext. 5251 average (AADT). 1-877-464-9675, ext. 5251 Regional roads in the vicinity of major employment nodes are consistently among the highest volume roads in the Region. Highway 7 continues to be the Region’s busiest road.

  • Appendix II – Viva Routes
    Appendix II – Viva Routes Viva Service Viva is York Region’s bus rapid transit (BRT) system, operating in the Highway 7 and Yonge Street corridors with connections to Don Mills and Downsview subway stations. Viva is designed to provide frequent, limited stop service using distinct vehicles, intelligent transportation systems, off-board fare payment, upgraded stations, and queue-jump lanes, all integrated with YRT’s regular route service. The current Viva service, which launched in September 2005, has realized increased boardings annually, carrying 8.3 million riders in 2007, up from 7.1 million in 2006. It is the first phase of a longer-term rapid transit initiative – VivaNext – that includes subway extensions and bus rapid transit in dedicated rapidways to provide significantly faster travel times. VivaNext consists of approximately 71 kilometres of surface rapid transit in dedicated rapidways, integrated with the northerly extensions of the Yonge subway line to Richmond Hill Centre and Spadina subway line to Vaughan Corporate Centre. Figure 5 illustrates the various rapidway segments to be constructed. Preliminary engineering work on the H3 corridor is nearing completion, while work on the H2 segment was recently begun. Submission of the Environmental Assessment for the Y3, D1 and G1 segments – on Yonge Street, and along Davis Drive and Green Lane east of Yonge Street – is anticipated in the fall of 2008. As YRT/Viva moves forward into the next year, all service frequencies and route variations will be reviewed as part of the PLAN09. Service frequencies in the morning and afternoon rush hours will be reviewed to provide adequate levels of service for each route in accordance with YRT’s service standards.
