Surface Transit Network Plan
What’s New
Jane Street from Steeles Avenue West to Eglinton Avenue West has been identified as the next transit priority roadway in the Surface Transit Network Plan (STNP). Thank you to customers who joined our staff alongside the City of Toronto at three in-person consultations, one virtual town hall and shared feedback with our digital survey. Your input on the proposed design options to improve the speed and reliability of bus service along this section of Jane Street is invaluable.

Background
In our 5-Year Service Plan & 10-Year Outlook released in December 2019, TTC outlined a proposal to explore priority bus-only lanes and other service-enhancing measures on five of its busiest corridors. The five corridors, which had a combined, pre-COVID ridership of approximately 220,000 passengers per weekday, include:
- Eglinton Avenue East/Kingston Road/Morningside Avenue from Kennedy Subway Station to the University of Toronto, Scarborough.
- Jane Street from Eglinton Avenue to Steeles Avenue.
- Dufferin Street from Dufferin Gate to Wilson Avenue.
- Steeles Avenue West from Yonge Street to Pioneer Village Subway Station.
- Finch Avenue East from Yonge Street to McCowan Road.
In addition to the five corridors identified in the 5-year Service Plan & 10-Year Outlook, the TTC and City of Toronto are working on an overall plan to guide the study, evaluation and delivery of bus and streetcar improvement projects in Toronto. The STNP will present the Top 20 roadways that will be studied in detail over the next 10 years. For updates and to learn more visit the Surface Transit Network Plan page.
Using the priority bus lanes:
The transit priority bus lanes are sections of the street designated by regulatory signs and pavement markings for use by public transit, bikes may also use them. The bus lanes also have regulatory “No Stopping” signs placed along each roadway. Other vehicles are not allowed to stop or wait in the priority bus lanes.
Drivers should be aware and always look for people on bikes, buses and pedestrians when travelling along or moving into priority bus lanes to make turns. People on bikes and pedestrians should also be aware and look out for buses and cars.
If you drive or cycle, learn how to use the SNTP bus lanes with this guide from the City of Toronto.
