Whereas:
The Brampton Transit Route 501 Züm Queen, provides direct service to the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre in York Region and York University in north Toronto;
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the Route 501A/C service that provides direct Brampton Transit service between Brampton and York University has been suspended due to low demand and limited resources;
For over 10 years, in order to support the integration of transit services, all transit agencies in the 905, have allowed customers to transfer to all other 905 transit systems free of change with a valid transfer;
Current legislation requires transit customers connecting between 905 Transit Agencies and the TTC, to pay another fare when transferring between the systems;
Currently, transit customers travelling between Brampton and Toronto, including through the TTC subway at the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, must pay two fares to complete their trip;
Over the past decade, the provincial government has invested billions of dollars in improving transit infrastructure in Toronto and York Region including the Bus Rapid Transit Rapidways along Highway 7 and the Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension, which support connections from Brampton to the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and York University;
The Route 501A/C service duplicates portions of Rapidway and Subway infrastructure noted above;
The provincial government, through the deputy Ministry of Transportation, has been leading a group comprised of all transit agencies in the GTHA, investigating ways to better integrate transit services and transit fares in the region;
Therefore, be it resolved that:
The City of Brampton request that the Provincial Government, through the Ministry of Transportation, leverage the investment in transit infrastructure noted above and financially support a pilot program that would allow for free transfers between 905 Transit Agencies and the TTC at the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre; and
That the Mayor be requested to provide correspondence to the local MPPs.
