Toronto Transit Commission Ridership Growth Strategy
The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is developing its 2026-2028 ridership growth strategy (RGS) and its 2026 budget considerations. Transport Action Ontario participated in the TTC Planning Advisory Group and has submitted input into the RGS. While the draft RGS had numerous components that we supported, our input emphasized the need for more transit-only lanes with enforcement. This is the single most cost-effective way to improve service reliability and attractiveness of the TTC and to meet the transportation needs of a growing region.
We also supported increases in the transit signal priority program and in the express bus, all-day-every-day and 10-minute networks.

Bowmanville GO Train Extension
Amended Final Report | November 2023
The Bowmanville extension represents an opportunity for Durham Region and the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) to make significant progress towards resolving critical issues such as traffic congestion, housing, and climate change. It’s imperative that we take the necessary steps to ensure that we execute this project correctly and effectively, as it’s not too late to make any necessary adjustments.
We strongly urge Metrolinx to prioritize transparency and collaboration in developing the Bowmanville extension’s infrastructure. This entails planning for accommodating at least six to eight electrified trains per hour. Moreover, we suggest reevaluating the curve design east of the current Oshawa GO station, with a focus on enhancing safety measures, optimizing travel time and enabling increased service.
