Hurontario Light Rail Transit project
Sustainable Urban Mobility for Growing Cities
The Hurontario Light Rail Transit project (HuLRT) is an 18 km-long light rail transit system with 19 stops that runs along Hurontario Street from Port Credit in Mississauga to the Brampton Gateway Terminal. The HuLRT will operate in a separated guideway with traffic priority throughout most of the corridor, accommodating a double cycle path and becoming a people-oriented corridor connecting communities and accommodating growth anticipated over the next 30 years.
The project also comprises upgrade and commissioning of third party infrastructure, road resurfacing and widening, construction, modifications and rehabilitations of bridges, traffic management and detours, road signing and lighting, parking areas and one Building for the Operations and Maintenance for the LRT vehicles.
The HuLRT forms a part of the transit priorities set out in the regional transportation plan adopted by Metrolinx in 2008 known as “The Big Move", a traffic solution intended to resolve the congestion and transit backlog issues in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.
