Canada-Ontario Partnership to Build Transport Expansion

planned

The national and provincial governments of Canada and Ontario have agreed to provide a combined C$8.8 billion over 10 years to support infrastructure investment under the Canada-Ontario Partnership to Build. This includes investment in public transport, reduction in development charges, and a harmonised sales tax rebate to make new housing more affordable. The GO 2.0 initiative under this partnership will explore options for expanding GO Transit commuter rail services across the Greater Golden Horseshoe region, including construction of bypass tracks in the Milton corridor, another cross-Toronto corridor, and improved connectivity to Pearson Airport. The partnership also supports the planning and development of the proposed Toronto – Québec City high speed rail line.
