Later this month, Ontario's Metrolinx will hold a series of public meetings to discuss "The Big Move: Transforming Transportation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area," a 25-year, $50 billion transit improvement program.

Projects included in the program call for providing faster, more frequent service on several GO Transit lines; adding regional rail service between Georgetown and Union Station, and Milton and downtown Toronto; adding GO Transit service to Bowmanville, Seaton and Bolton; extending the Spadina subway from Downsview Station to York University and the Vaughan Corporate Centre, and from Finch Station to Langstaff in Richmond Hill; and adding new rapid transit service in several Toronto suburbs.

Created by the Ontario government in 2006, Metrolinx is charged with developing and implementing an integrated multi-modal transportation plan for Toronto, Hamilton and four surrounding municipalities.
