Truck Safety Plan overview
Safety is essential across all of Metrolinx’s projects and operations, guiding every decision and action we take. Building a nearly 16-kilometre, 15-station transit line through the heart of Canada’s largest city requires careful planning, coordination, and monitoring.
Recognizing the complexity and scale associated with the Ontario Line—and the volume of trucks in city— Metrolinx is taking the additional step of formalizing a Truck Safety Plan. The plan builds on the existing Traffic Control Plans we’ve developed in partnership with the City of Toronto and our contractors. We work with residents, municipal partners and contractors to put these plans in place for all projects.
With the Ontario Line Truck Safety plan, we are introducing additional education and training requirements for drivers and establishing enforcement measures to ensure drivers adhere to agreed-upon truck routes.
The plan is a living document that will be updated in collaboration with the City of Toronto and our contractors as construction progresses and priorities evolve. Working together, we have created a consistent framework for truck routing that can be adapted for other projects across the city.

Metrolinx acknowledges that we connect communities by building and operating transit within the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat peoples, for whom these lands continue to have great importance.
Treaties between First Nations and governments cover these lands, and the promises contained in these Treaties remain relevant to this day.
Metrolinx and its employees are committed to understanding the history of these lands and the continued impacts of colonization and take responsibility for actions to advance reconciliation.
Metrolinx will continue to seek the knowledge, expertise and experience of Indigenous partners and commits to doing business in a manner that is built on a foundation of trust, respect, and collaboration.
