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.

Toronto-Ontario Transit Update
EX9.1 Attachment 3 STATUS OF PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS Background In April 2019, City Council considered a supplementary report from the City Manager on Toronto's Transit Expansion Program- Update and Next Steps (EX4.1d). This report included an attachment which contained a series of preliminary technical questions for the Province related to the four transit projects identified in the 2019 Ontario Budget, released in April. Throughout Q2 and Q3 2019, City and TTC staff have met with Provincial staff for the purposes of carrying out the technical assessment of the Province’s transit proposal as directed by Council. Through this process, City and TTC staff have received information and insight that informs the responses below, and is reflective of the various stages of design of the Province's priority projects. In some instances, further work and due diligence will be required as planning and design development progresses. Further information on the projects as well as more detailed technical information on the staff assessment can be found Attachment 4- Assessment of Ontario Line and Attachment 5- Assessment of Line 2 East Extension. # Question and Status of Current Answer Transit Planning and Design 1 At what stage in the project lifecycle is each project, relative to either the City/TTC project lifecycle map (in EX4.1) or the Metrolinx Benefits Management Framework?

Chief Executive Officer's Report
STAFF REPORT Insert TTC logo here INFORMATION ONLY Chief Executive Officer’s Report – July 2015 Update Date: July 29, 2015 To: TTC Board From: Chief Executive Officer Summary The Chief Executive Officer’s Report is submitted each month to the TTC Board, for information. Copies of the report are also forwarded to each City of Toronto Councillor, the City Deputy Manager, and the City Chief Financial Officer, for information. The report is also available on the TTC’s website. Financial Impact There are no financial impacts associated with this report. Accessibility/Equity Matters There are no accessibility or equity issues associated with this report. Decision History The Chief Executive Officer’s Report was created in 2012 to better reflect the CEO’s goal to modernize the look and feel of the TTC in a transparent manner. The new report replaced the previous Chief General Manager’s Report, which did not provide a corporate-level focus on the organization’s key performance indicators (KPIs) and was not available on the TTC’s website in an easy-to-read format. Issue Background The Chief Executive Officer’s Report presents the organization’s KPIs in a performance “dashboard” format that enables the reader to view periodic performance in each area at-a glance. Targets for each KPI are provided although some are yet to be finalized. In addition, a “traffic light” indicates whether the organization is ahead of target (green), at risk (yellow) or below target (red) for the KPI in question and the trend arrows show whether performance is trending up or down. -
Ontario Line Initial Business Case
MEMORANDUM To: Metrolinx Board of Directors From: Mathieu Goetzke Chief Planning Officer (A) Date: September 12, 2019 Re: Subway Program – Ontario Line Update Resolution RESOLVED, based on the report prepared by the Chief Planning Officer, entitled “Subway Program – Ontario Line Update” and any further amendments directed by the Board at its meeting on September 12, 2019; THAT the Board endorses the results of the Ontario Line Initial Business Case; AND THAT, the Ontario Line project be advanced to the Preliminary Design stage and further evaluated through a Preliminary Design Business Case. Executive Summary In summer 2018, the government directed MTO to “…lead the development of an implementation strategy for provincial ownership of the TTC subway network and other strategic transit/transportation assets in the City of Toronto.” This commitment has since been reiterated in the 2018 Fall Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review, and in the 2019 Ontario Budget. In the 2019 Ontario Budget, the Province announced its plan to build four subway projects, with a total preliminary cost estimate of $28.5 billion. Ontario Line was one of the priority projects announced, along with the Scarborough Subway Extension, the Yonge Subway Extension and the Eglinton West Extension. The budget also included a renewal of the commitment to upload new subway projects and the existing network from the City of Toronto. The Getting Ontario Moving Act, 2019, which received Royal Assent on June 6, 2019, amended the Metrolinx Act to enable the Province to upload responsibility for new rapid transit projects, including subway projects, from the City of Toronto. A regulation made under this act has designated the Relief Line/Ontario Line, the Yonge Subway Extension, and the Scarborough Subway Extension the sole responsibility of the Province, through Metrolinx. -

Transit Network Expansion
2051.8 For Action Transit Network Expansion Date: February 10, 2021 To: TTC Board From: Deputy Chief Executive Officer Chief Capital Officer Summary The TTC and its partners at Metrolinx, Infrastructure Ontario, the Province of Ontario, and the City of Toronto are in the midst of the largest transit network expansion program in decades. The TTC continues to play a key role in the planning, technical review, and implementation of all major transit expansion projects in Toronto and the region. These include the Toronto Light Rail Transit Program and the provincial priority subway projects, referred to collectively as the “Subways Program”: the Ontario Line; the Scarborough Subway Extension; the Yonge North Subway Extension; and the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension. By 2031, the TTC will operate a network of six subway and light rail transit lines and is expected to maintain the track, track and tunnel infrastructure, system wide systems, and fleet for the extensions to Lines 1 and 2. The TTC is in discussions with Metrolinx on roles and responsibilities for maintenance of stations infrastructure on the extensions to Lines 1 and 2 which will be evaluated through a business case analysis. The TTC is closely involved in all major transit projects in the City of Toronto during project delivery through provision of alternate service to manage route diversions and with transit development in adjacent municipalities recognizing links to existing and planned future TTC service. Safety, accessibility, and customer service will always be at the core of TTC operations. The TTC is responsible for the TTC customer experience and for a seamless end-to- end customer journey during transit expansion project delivery and as the network operator when the new line or line extension opens for service.
