Metrolinx, an agency of the Government of Ontario under the Metrolinx Act, 2006, was created to improve the coordination and integration of all modes of transportation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). The organization’s mission is to champion, develop and implement an integrated transportation system for our region that enhances prosperity, sustainability and quality of life.

Metrolinx operates GO Transit, Canada’s largest inter-regional rail and bus network, which moves more than 270,000 people every weekday and 68 million passengers per year. The organization also works with local municipalities and transit agencies to plan, build and deliver rapid transit projects across the province.

Metrolinx provides park-and-ride facilities at many rail stations across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). Most of the approximately 70,000 parking stalls at GO stations are surface parking. Metrolinx has been expanding surface parking at many stations in response to increasing ridership. One such station that has experienced significant ridership growth is Whitby GO Station.
Whitby GO Station is located in the Town of Whitby east of Toronto on the GO Lakeshore East Line. This station currently has approximately 3,300 regular parking spaces (1,300 structured and 2,000 surface). Of the 2,000 surface spaces, 800 are leased from the Town of Whitby on a temporary basis to provide parking relief; parking is generally 90-100% utilised. In the near-term, the 800 surface parking space leases are expiring and Metrolinx is examining options to provide a non-permanent replacement that can be easily removed when other station access measures, such as improved transit service, are fully implemented. Metrolinx will not be purchasing additional land or constructing permanent structured parking at this location to ease parking constraints; instead, alternative parking solutions that could also be used at other stations will be examined.
