By GlobalDataOntario Minister of Transportation Steven Del Duca said: “The improvements we’re making on the Stouffville GO Corridor will make taking GO Transit an even better and more comfortable option for commuters and families in Scarborough and Unionville.
“Choosing public transit helps manage congestion, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve our economy by connecting people to jobs and opportunities.”
The upgrade initiative is expected to improve rail services on the Stouffville GO corridor and support the GO Regional Express Rail (RER) programme, which is one of the largest commuter rail projects in Canada.
It will involve the laying of additional track, GO station modifications, improvements to rail crossings and electrification works, in addition to the introduction of new locomotives and train control systems.
The number of weekly trips across the entire GO rail network is slated to grow to nearly 6,000 from the current 1,500 by 2024-2025.
