SmartTrack will use existing rail corridors such as the Stouffville right-of-way, pictured above.
The City of Toronto is planning SmartTrack – a regional express rail train service similar to the London Overground. It will have transfer points with the current TTC system.
SmartTrack will connect Scarborough to Markham, Union Station and Pearson International Airport. The plan proposes 3 stops in Ward 41: Steeles, Finch and Sheppard. It will provide two-way train service, speeding up your commute and allowing you to spend more time with your family and friends.
This new rail service will share a common fare system with the TTC allowing riders to transfer between the two. This project will provide our community with better access to rapid rail-based public transit and relieve gridlock on other parts of the transportation network – including our roads and highways.
Mediate393 is partially funded by the Ontario Office of the Attorney General, pictured above.

About Organ and Tissue Donation in Ontario
Currently, more than 1,500 people in Ontario are waiting for an organ transplant, and every three days someone dies waiting for their life-saving gift. Though most of us believe that organ donation is a good thing, only a quarter of us are registered donors. Everyone is a potential organ and tissue donor with the ability to save up to eight lives through organ donation and enhance the lives of up to 75 others through tissue donation.
