Ontario Is Growing, But Infrastructure Isn’t

Ontario’s population is surging, but our infrastructure hasn’t kept pace. Subways sit on 1950s foundations, highways are jammed daily, and housing is out of reach for too many.

  • Congestion drains billions in productivity every year.
  • Housing shortages push families farther from jobs and schools.
  • Aging infrastructure strains under today’s demand.

Ontario Connected: A Blueprint for Independence

We propose deep, multi-layer subway tunnels, a regional subway grid, and sustainable housing hubs. This isn’t just a transit plan—it’s an economic, housing, and climate strategy.

  • Multi-layer subway tunnels beneath existing lines for relief and express service.
  • Regional subway grid connecting Mississauga, Brampton, Durham, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Barrie, Niagara & more.
  • Underground hubs with affordable housing, shopping, jobs, and community space.
  • Climate-smart design to cut emissions and protect farmland.

Why It Matters

Underground Hubs, Not Underground Cities

Ontario Connected does not propose permanent underground cities or forcing people to live underground. Instead, the vision is to build transit-linked hubs beneath and alongside major transit corridors.

These hubs can include:

  • Affordable student housing and short-term accommodations
  • Retail, grocery, and entertainment spaces
  • Healthcare, education, and community facilities
  • Connections to high-speed rail and subway lines

By integrating services directly with mobility, we relieve pressure on surface land, protect farmland and green spaces, and create sustainable options for communities. Above ground, Ontario’s towns and cities remain vibrant, natural spaces are preserved, and housing supply expands more intelligently.

A Plan for Everyone

Growth must be inclusive. Ontario Transit Vision commits to early and ongoing engagement with Indigenous communities, new immigrants, students, workers, and families so that benefits are widely shared and communities help shape outcomes.
