The purpose of the Dundas BRT project is to evaluate the proposed transit corridor along a 48 kilometre stretch of Dundas Street from Highway 6 in the City of Hamilton through to the Kipling Transit Hub in the City of Toronto, linking Etobicoke and Mississauga City Centres. More than 20 kilometres, of the 48 kilometre BRT, will operate in bus lanes or in a dedicated right-of-way, separate from other traffic, allowing faster and more reliable transit connections.
Previous municipal planning studies and the Metrolinx Initial Business Case (IBC) confirmed the need for improved bus transit infrastructure along Dundas Street. Metrolinx is now advancing plans for the Dundas Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor.
Typically, the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area welcomes about 110,00 new residents every year and is anticipated to hit a population of over 10 million people by 2041. Growth in our communities means that a reliable transportation system is needed to support the convenient and reliable movement of people as they travel from their homes for work and recreation.
This graphic shows the project process and demonstrates where public engagement will take place. The project timeline has been updated since the last round of engagement to:
Virtual Public Engagement #1 was held in April 2021. Interested individuals were provided with the opportunity to give feedback by filling out a feedback form, submitting questions via the project webpage or emailing the project team directly. Feedback gathered demonstrated general public support for the project, along with strong interest in learning more about potential impacts as the project progresses. The public identified:

Feedback provided during Virtual Public Engagement #1 has been and will continue to be considered to inform key project decision-making. The impact of public feedback during the first round of engagement can be directly observed in the development of the revised Pinch Point Evaluation Criteria. Criteria was revised to include areas of importance raised by the public, including road safety, pedestrian and cyclist accessibility and connectivity, transit service reliability and capital cost. You can read the Virtual Public Engagement #1 Summary Report for further information.
In addition to virtual public engagements, the project team is engaging with the public, stakeholders and subject matter experts through a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and Stakeholder Advisory Groups (SAGs). Metrolinx will continue to work with the TAC and SAGs throughout the course of the project to help ensure community members along the Dundas BRT corridor remain engaged and informed.
