What makes us unique?
A career with Metrolinx provides an opportunity to work with a
diverse group of people, from various backgrounds and professions, in an
organization that is growing tremendously as it moves toward the goal of
championing and delivering mobility solutions for the Greater Toronto
and Hamilton Area (GTHA).
In partnership with the Provincial Government, regions and
municipalities, we’re building a seamless, integrated and sustainable
transportation network to serve the GTHA now, and into the future.
In addition to planning, building and delivering major regional
transportation projects throughout the GTHA, Metrolinx also oversees
three distinct operating divisions:

the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, joined Metrolinx in 2009. GO
delivers over 57 million bus and rail trips annually.
PRESTO joined Metrolinx as an operating division in
2011. PRESTO is an electronic fare card that allows riders to transfer
seamlessly across multiple transit systems in the GTHA.
Union Pearon Express - When complete in 2015, will provide
a high-quality express rail shuttle service between Union Station and Toronto
Pearson Airport.
