Leading city-regions have seamless transit systems that enable them to compete and prosper. Our region’s network of transit systems requires additional integration. As the Government of Ontario moves to upload aspects of Toronto’s heavy rail network, what else should the Province do to advance the integration of our region’s transit systems?
This expert panel will discuss key approaches for building a more seamless network of transit systems in the near term.

This expert panel will explore what is required to achieve these targets, and how the Province’s uploading agenda can possibly play a supporting role.

When it comes to building a seamless world-class transit system, there are few better organizations to learn from than Hong Kong’s Mass Transit Railway (MTR). Over the past four decades, MTR has built a transit network that covers 221 kilometers, serves 5 million people daily, runs on time 99.9% of the time, and operates at a profit.
Hear from MTR CEO, Lincoln Leong, on decades of lessons learned – lessons which our region should consider as we advance network integration.

Keeping infrastructure investment moving forward is a priority for the region’s business community. All orders of government must not slow down the construction of rapid transit lines. The need for infrastructure and technological solutions for moving goods efficiently across the region is equally important.
This expert panel will discuss strategic projects for moving people and goods throughout our region, potential funding sources and possible opportunities the Province’s uploading agenda provides.
