Vision: The GTHA will have a sustainable
transportation system that is aligned with land use,
and supports healthy and complete communities.
The system will provide safe, convenient and reliable
connections, and support a high quality of life, a
prosperous and competitive economy, and a
protected environment.
31 Priority Actions to Support the 5 Strategies
• Metrolinx published the first regional transportation
plan (RTP) for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area
(GTHA) in 2008.
• We are required to review the RTP at least every ten
years, in alignment with Ontario’s Growth Plan for the
Greater Golden Horseshoe.
• The legislative review of initial RTP led to the
development of the 2041 RTP. Key outcomes include:
o Quadrupling the number of people and doubling
the number of jobs within walking distance of
Frequent Rapid Transit
o 27x more kilometres of the Frequent Rapid
Transit
o In addition to the capital costs, successful
implementation will also require operating
funding for transit services, fare integration and
programs for walking and cycling
