ANALYSIS OF TRANSIT ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND FEDERAL POLICY. VOLUME 11: ANALYSIS OF TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA

This report is part of the Transit Energy Consumption and Federal Policy Study that analyzes the way in which energy consumption and conservation has been considered in the planning, development, and operation of public transit systems in selected cities. Although Toronto, Canada, is not subject to U.S. Federal policy, it is pertinent to observe this system as an example and comparative element in this study. Toronto has a successful transit system, and it is useful to observe the differences in policy and planning. The report discusses each and all of the transit operators and the general characteristics of the Toronto Metropolitan Area. Each transit operator is discussed in terms of function, structure, facilities and equipment, and utilization and operations.
