Two Transit Options for York Region Employers and Residents

YRT and Viva provide local and rapid transit service across all nine municipalities of York Region. Together, YRT and Viva provide seamless connectivity across York Region, with easy connections to Toronto, Durham and Peel.

Rapid residential and employment growth have made York Region the sixth largest regional municipality in Canada within a very short period of time. As a result, the Region is facing many issues regarding traffic congestion, sustainable economic growth, protection of the environment and quality of life.

York Region is addressing the issues of rapid growth and transportation gridlock with Viva, a rapid transit solution that will help to sustain economic growth, contribute to the health of our environment, and improve quality of life for future generations.

By making the right connections, Viva will link the Region's emerging urban centres, expand connections into the Toronto, Peel and Durham Regions, and help to reduce the rate of traffic congestion on our roadways.

In York Region, rapid transit will provide the "missing link" to provide passengers with a fast, comfortable and convenient "family" of transit services. Viva will link Transit Villages along the rapid transit corridors to encourage more efficient land use and improve quality of life.
