Metrolinx
The many faces and places of Metrolinx have one goal: to make it easier to move within our region. We are working together to transform transportation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.
History
Metrolinx is an agency of the Government of Ontario. Our organization was created in 2006 with relatively few employees to improve the coordination and integration of all modes of transportation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. In 2009, Metrolinx merged with GO Transit, the regional public transit service. The organization grew further with the addition of two more operating divisions – the Union Pearson Express in 2010 and PRESTO in 2011.
Crucial to Metrolinx's success was the development of a Regional Transportation Plan - The Big Move. It's a bold 25-year plan to implement a common vision for transportation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. Our region, one of the largest and fastest-growing urban regions in North America, faces a gridlock problem. The Big Move is an integrated solution that takes a regional view and includes all modes of transportation.
Metrolinx is managing $16 Billion in transit expansion, the largest transit investment in Canadian history. In 2013, Metrolinx has 2,700 employees and the annual operating budget is $520 million.
Governance
Metrolinx reports to a Board of Directors. Board meetings are public and can be viewed on the Metrolinx website or in person at Union Station's West Wing offices. The Board is made up of members of the public who are appointed by the Province. Metrolinx is an agency of the Government of Ontario.
