“This event will be one of many collaborations with Metrolinx, as they implement Ontario’s transportation strategies.”
Right now, Metrolinx is working on implementing the largest transit investment in Ontario’s history, with $75 billion in projects in planning underway, including the GO Expansion program, the four priority subway projects, as well as light rail projects in Toronto, Peel Region and Hamilton.
As Metrolinx continues to work on bringing more transit throughout the region, there’s no better time to focus on getting the right people on board.
