Ontario Line $10.9 billion
20 ReNew Canada
The Ontario Line is a 15.6-kilometre stand-alone rapid transit
line that will connect the Ontario Science Centre to Exhibition/
Ontario Place. Over half of the route is planned to run underground through new tunnels, with the remainder running along
elevated and at-grade rail corridor sections of track. Fifteen stations are proposed, with numerous connections to the broader
transit network, including GO Transit rail services, the Toronto
Transit Commission’s subway Lines 1 and 2, the future Line 5
(Eglinton Crosstown LRT), as well as numerous bus and streetcar
routes. The Ontario Line is one of four priority transit projects
announced by the province in 2019 for the Greater Toronto and
Hamilton Area.
In November 2022, Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx
awarded a contract to Connect 6ix valued at $9B ($2.3B for capital costs and $6.7B for short-term construction financing and
transaction costs, train costs and 30-year operations and maintenance, lifecycle, and long-term financing). The Connect 6ix team
will design, build, finance, operate and maintain the Ontario
Line Rolling Stock, Systems, Operations and Maintenance (RSSOM) package for a 30-year term.
The team will begin mobilizing their design and construction
crews, with work to commence in 2023. The project is anticipated
to be completed in 2031. Once all the civil infrastructure elements
and systems from Ontario Line North and South segments have
been completed, integrated and certified, Connect 6ix will then
begin operating and maintaining the Ontario Line for a 30-year
term.
