Metrolinx is building a convenient and integrated transit network which includes electrification. Electrifying GO rail corridors is a multi-year project and we are committed to working with residents across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area throughout the process. The first step to electrify GO-owned corridors was the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP), which was completed in 2017. The TPAP built on previous environmental assessments and public engagement including the 2010 GO Transit Electrification Study, the TPAP for the Union Pearson Express, and the Class Environment Assessment For Minor Transmission Facilities conducted by Hydro One.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Feasibility

Metrolinx is committed to finding the most sustainable solution for electrifying the GO rail network. That's why, in addition to studying the environmental impacts of traditional electrification, Metrolinx is examining the feasibility of another form of electrification - hydrogen powered vehicles.
