Additional Resources
- MTO Transit-Supportive Guidelines discuss strategies to enhance the experience for transit users. Relevant guidance for developments is as follows:
- All printed transportation information (system and route maps, along with route schedules) should be available at terminals, in vehicles, at transit-accessible shopping malls, at municipal buildings, and in electronic format on the transit agency’s website.
- Transit system information should include information on multimodal access, such as connections to other transit systems and other transportation modes such as ferries, airports, bike routes, and pedestrian paths.
