SmartTrack is a proposed Regional Express Rail surface route in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is an enhancement to RER that includes an integrated fare structure and up to six new stations on the inner portions of the Kitchener, Lakeshore East and Stouffville GO Transit commuter train corridors.
SmartTrack was proposed by Toronto mayor John Tory and was the centrepiece of his 2014 mayoral election campaign.
SmartTrack was first proposed during John Tory's 2014 campaign for mayor. It had been changed with proposals made by city staff after Tory assumed office.
The SmartTrack line as proposed would be 53 km long and run along Eglinton Avenue from Matheson/Airport Corporate Centre in Mississauga to Mount Dennis before turning downtown to Union Station. It would then run northeast through Scarborough to Unionville in Markham. 22 stations and interchanges with the Union Pearson Express, Eglinton Crosstown line, Bloor–Danforth line, Yonge–University–Spadina line, and GO Transit were proposed. Tory estimated ridership would be 200,000 passengers a day, would cost $8 billion and be in service by 2022. No costing or ridership studies had been undertaken by Metrolinx, the TTC or The City of Toronto.
