History
Metrolinx, an agency of the Government of Ontario under the Metrolinx Act, 2006, was created to improve the coordination and integration of all modes of transportation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.
By 2031, Toronto Pearson International Airport and Union Station are projected to welcome over 190 million travellers a year combined – that’s half the current population of Canada month in, month out, and almost double today’s traffic. Metrolinx was tasked with easing this immense strain on Canada's two largest travel terminals.
UP Express launched, on time and on budget, on June 6, 2015 after 3 years of construction. UP Express removed approximately 1.2 million car trips from roads across the region in its first year of operation alone.
