History

On June 15, 2007, Premier Dalton McGuinty and Minister of Transportation Donna Cansfield announced the government's plan to fund 52 transit projects in Ontario to improve transit services provided by GO Transit, the Toronto Transit Commission, York Region Transit's Viva bus rapid transit system, Durham Region Transit, Mississauga Transit, Brampton Transit, and the Hamilton Street Railway.[1]

Construction on the 902 kilometres of new or improved rapid transit is to start in 2008 and be in place by 2020. The Government of Ontario has committed two-thirds of the estimated $17.5 billion cost, and has asked the Government of Canada to provide the remaining one-third. Municipalities are not expected to contribute to the capital cost of the projects, but would be responsible for any operating subsidies that are required.

Simultaneous with the announcement of MoveOntario 2020, the government announced its intention to fund the development of rapid transit in Kitchener-Waterloo in the same fashion as the MoveOntario projects (i.e., a two-thirds commitment, with the federal government paying the balance).[2] Thus while the Kitchener-Waterloo RT project is not a formal part of MoveOntario 2020, the government is treating it in the same fashion as the MoveOntario 2020 projects.

The project is widely seen as a key campaign promise by McGuinty for the 2007 Ontario general election.[3][4]

MoveOntario 2020 initiatives have fallen under the umbrella of Metrolinx's regional transportation plan (RTP). The final version of the RTP was released in November 2008.[5]
