Editor's Notes

• #11: Say hello, introduce yourself and say
• #14: Planning transit projects requires robust and accessible evidence to develop and evaluate options A recent survey of the region found that ‘making fact-based decisions’ is a top driver of trust in Metrolinx Public trust is built and maintained by the timely publication of relevant and reasonable evidence
• #17: Say hello, introduce yourself and say what the question for the RTP was: how do we plan to improve mobility in a growing region?
• #20: This presentation will follow a three act structure, like
• #21: Say hello, introduce yourself and say
• #22: Say hello, introduce yourself and say
• #23: Say hello, introduce yourself and say what the question for the RTP was: how do we plan to improve mobility in a growing region?
• #26: Act 1 The Quest for a Regional Transportation Plan Discovering Regional Mobility Patterns & Trends Act 2 A Vision of The Future Measuring the Benefits of the 2041 RTP Act 2 The Final Battle: Implementation Business Cases & Making it Happen
• #27: Check stats**
• #28: As we know, the GTHA’s population is rapidly growing, and is expected to reach 10.1 million people compared to 7.2 million today. The majority of this growth is happening outside of Toronto, in the suburbs with less access to transit. In addition to a growing population, the region is seeing a growing senior population and increasing ethnic diversity. The cost of living in the GTHA is also increasing, all while income becomes more polarized. This changing socioeconomic landscape increases the need for an inclusive and equitable transportation system: to support the diverse backgrounds and needs of its riders and to maintain and increase ridership

• #45: The transit system of the future must rethink how services are delivered if transit is to serve a wide range of needs across the Region. The RTP introduces the concept of a FRTN to meet the region’s long-term needs. The FRTN is a strategic approach to moving people efficiently by transit in a region with multiple population and employment concentrations. The vision for the FRTN is a network of Priority Bus, Frequent Regional Express Bus, Subway, BRT, LRT, and heavy rail corridors that function as a seamless system of frequent rapid transit. The layering of multiple modes in the network enables expansive coverage across the region. The FRTN incorporates a new concept called “Priority bus” - an approach to enhance and transform how rapid transit is delivered and operates in the GTHA, by leveraging intelligent transportation systems technologies with minimal infrastructure investment. The prioritization framework aims at looking at all these types of projects, and evaluating them to see where the investment most strengthens the FRTN, through ridership and customer value. This requires state-of-the-art analysis to forecast the impacts of these very different projects, which Mx is trying to embed in the business case methodology.
• #55: Big Data and the RTP 2041 Use big data to optimize infrastructure and improve services – page 92 Action 5.6: Develop a regional transportation big data strategy – page 94 Develop a regional transportation big data strategy: Create a regional transportation big data portal, providing consistent and transparent data collection, management and reporting. Establish regional standards for transportation data sourcing, formatting, privacy, security, ownership and reporting. [NOTE: Or champion the use of new and relevant international standards] Identify and acquire new transportation data on all modes of transportation for planning and operations (e.g., crowd-sourced traffic data). Advance coordination and standardization of transportation forecasting, modelling and business case methodologies to support decision-making and evaluation. Big Data and the Making it Happen Paper – page 30 Develop a coordinated regional data collection program and observatory, including approaches to real-time data, ridership, big data and goods movement data; Develop a more consistent approach to travel demand modelling across GTHA municipalities, provincial ministries, and academic institutions; Develop performance targets for 2041 RTP that inform the implementation process; and Building on existing practices, identify the ideal governance and funding sources for collecting, analyzing and sharing regional transportation data and insights. In addition Develop protocols to identify and collect key data that our equipment and services produce, and identify new sources of data based on the information we need. As we increase the number of contracts and partnerships, establish policies around data collection and sharing to ensure that we receive and can analyze and leverage data collected by our partners. For example, cities and agencies that have partnered with Uber have sometimes found it difficult to gain access to the data produced. All agreements with our providers and partners should include clauses around data to enable future access to these data sources. Develop the internal capacity to analyze data. Analytics experts are in high demand and may require a specific attraction and retention strategy. Continue to work with the province on Open Government with an emphasis on sharing data to better achieve our objectives.
