GO Train

Participate

GO Transit has begun developing the Terms of Reference for the preliminary design and engineering of the power supply and distribution for the Georgetown and Lakeshore corridors and the Environmental Assessment (EA) for Phase 1: the Air Rail Link from Union Station to Pearson Airport.

Determining how GO Trains will be powered in the future is an important decision – one that requires an examination of benefits and costs of the various technology options, as well as consideration of community values and priorities. Metrolinx recognizes the importance of reaching out to and engaging stakeholders in the process. Metrolinx looks forward to building on the considerable insight and perspective that was gained from the feedback of interested stakeholders and the community throughout the study phase.

There will be opportunities during the EA phase for public input and participation on the process and findings, and that information will be provided here. Check back later this year for more information on upcoming participation opportunities.
