Why should you be concerned?

Metrolinx and the Province of Ontario plan to run over 400 diesel trains a day through neighbourhoods from Pearson Airport to Union Station. Diesel exhaust is a known threat to human health, especially the health of children and seniors, and is linked to cancer and respiratory diseases. Diesel trains will spew fumes, create noise and divide our neighbourhoods. This plan will seriously impact our quality of life.

Metrolinx has indicated a vague plan to electrify this corridor in 15 years, but there is no commitment in place to do so. In order to protect our health, save our neighbourhoods, and advance Ontario’s green economy, we need to electrify now.

Speak up!

Tell them that you demand:

Clean and modern electric trains to run along the Union Station
      to Georgetown Corridor

No new investment in diesel technology

A new environmental assessment that considers electrification
      as an alternative to diesel

More accessibility by adding stops and making connections
      between communities.

The Clean Train Coalition represents communities along the rail corridor. We believe that a healthy environment
and vibrant neighbourhoods depend on smart investment in public transit infrastructure. Build it once, build it right!
