  • The One Toronto Transit Plan the One Toronto Transit Plan
    THE ONE TORONTO TRANSIT PLAN THE ONE TORONTO TRANSIT PLAN As Mayor, John Tory will make Toronto more liveable, affordable and functional. Public transit is at the heart of what it takes to improve Toronto in each of these areas. John Tory’s One Toronto Transit Plan is a collection of initiatives and public transit investments that will get our city moving in seven years, and provide relief to the Yonge-University-Spadina subway line. THE ONE TORONTO PLAN WILL: • Start construction of the Scarborough subway extension immediately. • Engage the City with the Government of Ontario’s and Metrolinx’s plans for Regional Express Rail (RER) – all-day, two-way surface subway service on existing GO track lines with new higher-speed vehicles . • Start with the SmartTrack line as the first RER project, providing 53 km of relief. The SmartTrack line will run from the Airport Corporate Centre in the west, down to Union Station and back up to Markham in the east, with 22 new station stops and four interchanges with the TTC rapid transit network. • Finance the City’s one third of the capital cost of the SmartTrack line without raising property taxes, using tax increment financing. • Provide new express bus services for a segment of travelers that can be moved much quicker if fewer stops are made en route. Examples, which have been discussed, include, Don Mills Road, Dufferin Street and Front Street/Liberty Village. THE ONE TORONTO TRANSIT PLAN BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH TORY’S ONE TORONTO TRANSIT RELIEF PLAN INCLUDE: • Bringing relief sooner, to more Torontonians, rather than just the downtown- concentrated proposals of other candidates.
