The project extends the TTC's Line 1 from its terminus at the Downsview Station in Toronto to Vaughan, Ontario. The extension will feature six new subway stations and three new commuter parking lots, along with a bus terminal for the TTC, York Region Transit and GO Transit.
The Toronto-York Spadina extension is aimed at improving transit service by supporting a multimodal transportation network in the Toronto area, TTC officials said.
The Canadian government has committed up to $697 million for the $3.18 billion project, while the province of Ontario has provided $870 million. In addition, the city of Toronto will contribute $907 million and the Regional Municipality of York will contribute $606 million toward the project. (All figures in Canadian dollars.)
Service on the new extension is slated to start at the end of 2017.
