4 message from the Chairman of the Board These new transit connections fuel innovation and economic development was an epic year for York Region, with the first subway crossing the regional boundary at Steeles Avenue. More than a decade of planning, dedication and hard work on this rapid transit project have been realized, resulting in truly monumental changes to how people move around our Region. At Vaughan Metropolitan [VMC], the new vivanext rapidway connects to the subway, surrounded by a developing convergence of offices, residences and entertainment. The newly opened Line 1 subway extension fast-tracks connecting customers from Vaughan to downtown Toronto [or vice versa] in 42 minutes. These new transit connections fuel innovation and economic development. This year, York University received $127 million in Ontario government funding for the new Markham Campus. Our rapidway in Markham has laid the groundwork to move thousands of students, while serving employees in Markham s thriving high-tech economy. The expansion of GO Transit s Regional xpress Rail in Markham will also further these connections. The task to strengthen future rapid transit connections in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area [GTHA] continues. The next critical link is the Yonge Subway xtension. In June 2017, York Region dedicated Government of Canada funding of $36 million to further advance design work, in addition to $55 million from the Province of Ontario through Metrolinx in Preliminary engineering and design work are underway, in anticipation of full project funding. The York Region Rapid Transit Corporation team s expertise in rapid transit deployment includes keeping people moving, while building infrastructure that transforms communities. Now with the opening of the Line 1 subway extension in Vaughan and the West rapidway, we see the transformation before our eyes. Rapid transit development is paving the way for growth and greater prosperity along the most vital corridors in the GTHA. Frank Scarpitti Chair of the Board, York Region Rapid Transit Corporation Mayor, City of Markham 4 ANNUAL RPORT

5 message from the CO Our transit investments are benefitting York Region residents and businesses. York Region s vision for rapid transit is becoming a reality. In 2017, the progress became tangible. Rapidways on Davis Drive in Newmarket and on in Markham and Vaughan are already reducing travel times as much as 33 per cent. The first subway, Line 1 subway extension to Vaughan, has opened in York Region. Planning and design of the Yonge Subway xtension is underway; the number one rapid transit priority of York Regional Council. Transit expansion must continue to help our communities support growth. Collectively our region is home to 1.2 million people, 51,000 businesses and 600,000 jobs. Job growth in York Region is outpacing national, provincial and Greater Toronto Area rates. We are expected to grow to 900,000 jobs by The majority of this growth is expected, and planned, to be in our biggest cities and towns, and along the corridors connecting them. next 25 years, delivering more and more frequent transit service across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area [GTHA]. This will require additional capital funding from the governments of Canada and Ontario. Our transit investments are benefiting York Region residents and businesses. Bus Rapid Transit projects include entirely new streetscapes and new utilities used by residents and businesses. Subway extensions provide vital connections for commuters. These investments are all part of the vision of York Region s Transportation Master Plan, and the vision is fast becoming a reality. This annual report sums up an outstanding year in rapid transit from York Region Rapid Transit Corporation. Together, we re moving our Region forward into the future. Between 2015 and 2018, York Regional Council has made the highest transportation investment of any Regional Council in our history $934 million.

6 message from the President Infrastructure can and should be beautiful, and has a key role in the art of placemaking. We re beginning to experience firsthand the enormous potential of rapid transit connections in our Region, and the year 2017 marked a significant milestone with the opening of the Line 1 subway extension in Vaughan. TTC subway arrived in our Region. We opened the doors to Vaughan Metropolitan, where subway and YRT/Viva buses converge at one exciting destination. Construction also progressed on bus rapidways in Newmarket, Richmond Hill, Thornhill and Woodbridge, connecting to existing rapidways across the Region. The future has arrived, with better connections than ever before. The stronger our transit connections, and the more we can make use of the latest technologies, the more we can enhance everyone s quality of life. The infrastructure we build now prepares for growth by providing new mobility options, and is designed to last for generations. Already we re seeing livable, walkable, transitoriented communities take shape along our completed rapidways. GTHA s transit system. It will move two riders every second of the day [165,000 riders/day], improving the environment by replacing the 2,500 daily bus trips currently on Yonge Street north of Finch Avenue. We ve come so far already, thanks to the patience and support of those who live, work and commute in the communities shaped by our rapid transit projects. I m grateful to our entire York Region team of dedicated professionals who continue to carefully manage projects, come up with innovative designs, and drive projects from plans to completion. Infrastructure can and should be beautiful, and has a key role in the art of placemaking. Together, we will continue to plan, design and build projects that are a testament to that. Whether it s new infrastructure, modes of transit, or technology, we ll continue to shape our changing cities and towns, to ensure the future is bright for York Region. Another project with inter-regional benefits is the Yonge Subway xtension. Strong transit systems stretch beyond regional borders, offering door-to-door solutions.
