Bringing Rapid Transit to York Region
Rapid residential and employment growth have made York Region the sixth largest regional municipality in Canada within a very short period of time. As a result, the Region is facing many issues regarding traffic congestion, sustainable economic growth, protection of the environment and quality of life.
York Region is addressing the issues of rapid growth and transportation gridlock with Viva, a rapid transit solution that will help to sustain economic growth, contribute to the health of our environment, and improve quality of life for future generations.
Would you like to travel from Markville Mall to the Finch subway station in a rapid transit vehicle (RTV) in 30 minutes or less, with no parking hassles, no worries about weather conditions and no schedule concerns? Viva will provide a viable alternative to the car for York Region's residents.
By making the right connections, Viva will link the Region's emerging urban centres, expand connections into the Toronto, Peel and Durham Regions, and help to reduce the rate of traffic congestion on our roadways.
In York Region, rapid transit will provide the "missing link" to provide passengers with a fast, comfortable and convenient "family" of transit services. Viva will link Transit Villages along the rapid transit corridors to encourage more efficient land use and improve quality of life.
Viva will bring considerable benefits to York Region and its residents. In addition to providing safe, efficient transportation, Viva supports a strong economy and a healthier environment.
