Deloitte city mobility index

Summary

Toronto has a well-developed public transport network in the city core, but suburban areas are underserved and highly congested. Recent investments aim to address this problem by building new rapid transit routes and plans are in place to improve integration across transit authorities throughout the larger metropolitan area.

The city is open to embracing Future of Mobility technologies and has included space for these in its regional transport plan. Metrolinx is committed to reducing the reliance on private cars in the region through initiatives such as Smart Commute and development of rapid transit corridors. The Government of Ontario has committed funding aimed at increasing adoption of electric vehicles but the city’s EV infrastructure still lags behind.
