Council Direction

That the SPC on Transportation and Transit recommend that Council:

1. Use the results of the prioritization analysis to advance projects to the corporate prioritization processes to align with all City priorities and make the best match with available funding. 2. Conduct ongoing advocacy with the federal and provincial government for capital funding for rapid transit expansion projects, fleet purchase/maintenance, and state of good repair. 3. Return to Committee by Q4 2022 with an updated prioritization list as part of the 10-year review of RouteAhead. 4. Direct Administration to use the analysis in this Report to create Appendix 1 of RouteAhead that will identify priority transit projects to be used for infrastructure prioritization.
