For Mayor of Toronto · 2026Reliable Transit
Reduce preventable delays, improve recovery, communicate clearly and publish service performance residents can understand.
Home / Priorities / The City That Flows
Pillar 3 · Move Toronto BetterNobody’s life should be consumed by a commute.
Mobility is access to work, school, childcare, healthcare, recreation, family, culture and community. The purpose is not movement itself. It is opportunity and time returned to people.
Time is a public resource
Make the complete journey reliable.
Traffic, breakdowns, poor coordination, unclear detours, missed connections and accessibility barriers impose costs that do not appear in budgets but are visible in daily life.
Better Traffic Flow
Use evidence-based signal timing, road operations and priority where they produce measurable benefit.
Safer Streets
Improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, transit riders, emergency services and people using mobility devices.
Better Coordination
Reduce unnecessary disruption from overlapping construction, utilities, development, events and closures.
Why this turns Megacity into Gigacity: transportation is managed as one access system instead of a collection of competing modes and projects.
Reliability builds trust
Residents deserve a network they can plan their lives around.
Predictability often matters more than a best-case travel time that cannot be trusted.
Service consistency
Focus on preventable breakdowns, reliable frequency, operating support and faster recovery from disruptions.
Visible performance
Publish delay patterns, recovery times, accessibility availability, construction impacts and improvement progress.
Complete network thinking
Coordinate vehicles, stations, signals, elevators, power, maintenance, operators, information and emergency response.
Clear communication
Tell riders what is happening, why, what alternatives exist and when normal service is expected.
Traffic, signals and construction
If residents must endure disruption, make the disruption count.
Growth creates construction. The challenge is managing it intelligently.
- Coordinate road work with water, sewer, utility, accessibility and public-realm improvements.
- Use better signal timing and adaptive coordination where evidence shows a real benefit.
- Protect emergency access, transit movement, local businesses, deliveries and neighbourhood access.
- Tell residents what is happening, how long it will last, what alternatives exist and who is responsible.
- Sequence work so one disruption solves multiple infrastructure problems where practical.
Why this turns Megacity into Gigacity: Toronto treats construction and street operations as one coordinated system rather than separate inconveniences.
Accessibility is a governing principle
Evaluate journeys from door to destination.
A route is not accessible merely because one element meets a technical standard.
Walking and waitingDistance, seating, weather exposure, crossings and personal safety.
Transfers and elevatorsReliability, redundancy and the consequences when one access point fails.
Wayfinding and informationClear language, multiple formats and support for visitors and residents unfamiliar with the route.
Different bodies and livesPeople with disabilities, seniors, families, residents carrying goods, people recovering from injury and travellers with luggage.
Why this turns Megacity into Gigacity: Toronto designs transportation around real complete journeys rather than ideal conditions on a diagram.
The Connected Canadian Corridor
Toronto connected to opportunity.
Toronto should champion stronger intercity and regional connections while remaining honest about municipal authority.
Toronto can: advocate, coordinate, plan station areas, protect local connections, align housing and mobility, convene partners and prepare Toronto to benefit.
Major intercity rail decisions require cooperation among Canada, Ontario, municipalities, Indigenous partners, agencies and institutions.
Why this turns Megacity into Gigacity: Toronto connects local complete journeys to regional opportunity without promising powers the City does not possess.
