Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit
Welcome
Welcome to our online engagement platform for the Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit (DSBRT) project.
The proposed DSBRT line consists of 36 kilometres of bus rapid transit that would serve Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and Scarborough. Improved transit along Highway 2 across the Toronto and Durham boundary would link communities, employment, schools and other major destinations in the Region.
The proposed project aims to create seamless connections with local transit networks, providing the residents of Durham Region and the City of Toronto more flexibility and choice to get where they need to go, faster and more reliably.
The DSBRT project was assessed under the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) in Fall 2021/Winter 2022 in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08. During the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report (EPR) was prepared to assess the potential environmental impacts as a result of the Project. The Notice of Commencement was published on October 14, 2021 and the Notice of Completion was published on January 20, 2022
The EPR is available for review during the 30-day review period from January 21, 2022 until February 22, 2022. To view the EPR, please visit the Environmental Assesment page.

Project Timeline
DSBRT - Background Information
The Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit project proposes approximately 36 kilometres of dedicated transit infrastructure, connecting Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and Scarborough.
DSBRT - Environment
The studies will determine potential impacts and document mitigation measures that could be applied to reduce or eliminate potential impacts.
DSBRT - Bus Rapid Transit Stops
49 BRT stop locations are proposed. Stop locations remain at the same signalized intersections as at PIC#3.
DSBRT - Traffic & Active Transportation
The Durham-Scarborough BRT project provides the opportunity to improve connectivity and expand the active transportation network.
DSBRT - Construction
Curbside bus lanes have already been constructed in Pickering and Ajax. Since the road has been widened to accommodate the infrastructure, construction costs and duration will be minimized in these areas.
