• The Hurontario LRT project is being delivered using IO’s Alternative Financing and Procurement (AFP) delivery model. AFP transfers appropriate project risks to the private sector.
• Metrolinx has been working closely with the Cities of Mississauga and Brampton and the Region of Peel to integrate their transit system standards and requirements into the new LRT project.
• The Hurontario LRT is an example of the Ontario government’s commitment to invest in priority rapid transit to create an integrated transit system throughout the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).
