These costs will double in the next 30 years if we don’t improve our transportation.
The Cost
5
The Cost- Environment
Over 500,000 tonnes/year in Greenhouse Gases (GHG) is due to traffic congestion
That means 15% of daily emissions is due to excess traffic
congestion.
6
The Cost- Social Impacts
82 minutes/day average time a driver spends commuting
Average times each person spends commuting could
increase to 109 minutes per day in next 25 years.
7
Increase the percentage of people living within 2km of rapid transit to 81%
Triple the length of rapid transit service in GTHA to 1,725km
Reduce commute times to an average of 77 minutes per person per day
Decrease Greenhouse Gas emissions from passenger transportation per person by 29%

Proposed Principles to Guide New Funding
• Dedicated Revenue The public can see exactly what they are paying for and have an assurance
that funds are not diverted to other priorities
• Fairness in Costs and Benefits Distributes costs to everyone who benefits, recognizing that we all benefit
from transportation infrastructure
• Equity across the Region
Ensures that no part of the region is left behind by having all areas pay their
fair share and benefit from investment
• Transparency and Accountability Ensures transparency in administering funds and reporting on results
Potential Short List of Investment Tools
Seven Potential Big
Investment Tools:
• Employer Payroll Tax
• Fuel Tax
• Highway Tolls
• Parking Space Levy including pay-for-parking at transit stations
• Property Tax
• Sales Tax
• Vehicle Kilometres
Travelled (VKT) Fee

Lanes
• Land Value Capture (LVC)
• Transit Fare Increase
Potential Short List of Investment Tools
Categorizing Investment Tools
• User Pay Tools: recognizes the value to direct consumers of the
infrastructure
o Fuel Tax
o Road Pricing (High Occupancy Tolls, Highway Tolls, Vehicle Kilometres
Travelled Fee)
o Transit Fare Increase
• Beneficiaries Pay Tools: recognizes the economic value of infrastructure
o Property Tax
o Land Value Capture
o Development Charges
o Parking Space Levy including pay-for-parking for transit stations
o Employer Payroll Tax
• Everyone Pays Tool: recognizes the broad social value of infrastructure
o Sales Tax
Selection Criteria for discussion Selection Criteria for discussion
• Strong, predictable and durable revenues
• Reasonable cost and ease of implementation
• Price signals to encourage efficient travel choices
• Promotes economic competitiveness
• Promotes social fairness and equity
The Big Conversation- Next Steps
• Seeking public and stakeholder input on the shorter list of
potential dedicated investment tools
• Reaching out to and consulting with our municipal partners is
a key next step in our engagement plan
• On track to publicly release our final report and
recommendations at the Metrolinx Board meeting on May 27
• Inviting the public to learn more about the potential tools and
