By Transport Action Ontario | Latest News , Urban Transit
In November, 2021, Metrolinx released an important update on their $27B + GO Expansion Program, announcing that two proponents had submitted proposals in response to a tender request.

The attached article summarizes the status of the Program and identifies some best practices, largely listed in a Toronto Region Board of Trade report of March, 2022, that hopefully will be incorporated in the Program or in future expansion projects.
