Description
ION light rail is an efficient and zero-emission way of providing "higher order" transit service, where transit vehicles operate in their own dedicated lanes, making service faster and more reliable. ION efficiently moves people where transit ridership is highest, and plays a crucial role in building a reliable and frequent transit system. The second phase of ION will bring light rail transit service to Cambridge, and work on Phase 2 is currently underway.
Beyond Phase 2 ION, we must advance planning for future higher-order transit service for other key corridors in the region.
REGION OF WATERLOO
The Initial Business Case for rapid transit to Cambridge is complete. It included public engagement and Council's endorsement of a full-length Light Rail Transit (LRT) from Fairway Station to Downtown Cambridge. Regional staff will seek full funding from the federal and provincial governments as the project enters the design and pre-construction phase. For more information visit Stage 2 ION
