  8. Preface FirstClassPartnerships, Inc. (FCP), a well-respected leader in transportation planning, was contracted by the Ministry of Transportation to develop a business case for transit in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, and a pre-feasibility study on High Speed Rail from Toronto to London.

  9. Summary: Concept • 17 million intercity trips per year in Toronto – London corridor, and demand keeps growing • Today, travel is overwhelmingly by car, on 401 • Bus and rail each have only 3% - 5 % • In corridors with similar population, density, car ownership and incomes, High Speed Rail is commercially viable

  10. Has the time come to bring High Speed Railto Ontario?

  11. YES!

  12. PEARSON TORONTO KITCHENER - WATERLOO LONDON Conceptual Study Area; Actual alignment to be determined by environmental assessment

  13. Summary: Key Findings • By 2025, it would attract about 6 million passengers per year • About three-quarters of passengers would be “diverted”, with 20,000 car trips taken off 401 each day • Fare revenues would repay most capital investment with a net cost to government of about $500m • While High Speed Rail would directly serve only London and Kitchener, GO riders from Guelph, and communities across south western Ontario would see benefits

  14. Summary: Proposed Services Intercity High Speed Rail • 2 trains per hour all day, 320 km/h + electrified • 71 minutes from London to Union Station, Toronto, and 48 minutes from Kitchener to Union Station, Toronto. • Business and Economy Class • Affordable fares competitive with other transportation options GO Regional Express Rail • Regional Express Rail • GTHA Transit Fund To Build Fully Electric Regional Rail Network • 15 minute two-way electric service on all lines within 10 years • Will serve Guelph and Kitchener • Interim subway relief for Toronto • Pre-feasibility numbers demonstrate that RER investments in Toronto fundamentally change the numbers and present a strong case to run HSR to London.
