The Benefits to Ontario?

• Faster, more frequent and reliable access to rapid transit with more than 227,500 people will live within a 10-minute walk of an Ontario Line station
• Improving  the quality of life for commuters by reducing daily travel time
• Reducing crowding on the existing Line 1 (Yonge-University) subway
• Up to 57,000 more jobs will be  accessible by transit (in 45 minutes or less) for Toronto residents
• Economic and community growth along the future transit line and thousands of job opportunities annually during construction
• Reduction in traffic congestion, greenhouse gases and fuel consumption by providing an alternative transportation option
