Combined with TTC operational improvements, cumulative time savings to date are 10 minutes (Line 5) and 20 minutes (Line 6) per round trip. Work is ongoing to expand the TSP measures to include rotational signal phasing and full signal retiming to create progressions that support a continuous green wave. This is anticipated for completion by September 2026.
Building on the momentum from the recent efforts to improve transit travel times on the Line 5 and Line 6 corridors, the combined Transportation Services and TTC team will advance a significant expansion of Enhanced Transit Signal Priority throughout 2026 through a combination of new installations and upgrades to existing locations. The program will focus on high ridership bus and streetcar routes, with emphasis on routes that are expected to play a critical role during FIFA World Cup 2026, including both conventional and Enhanced TSP upgrades and additions to the 509 Harbourfront, 504 King, 63/63B Ossington south of Bloor Street, 7 Bathurst Street, 512 St. Clair Avenue, 505 Dundas, and the continued buildout of the 510 Spadina Avenue corridor. Collectively, these planned installations and upgrades represent nearly 50 percent more than the number of signalized intersections equipped or upgraded with TSP in any previous year, reflecting the City's commitment to accelerating delivery through additional temporary consulting resources and strengthened interagency coordination. The following table provides a summary of the TSP implementations planned for 2026 (72 New Locations, for a total of 508).

Fantastic to see the City's Congestion Management Plan call for Enhanced TSP on more corridors!
That's point #1 of the FastTrackTO 10-Point Plan in motion! ✅
It's an exciting start...but we're not done. Let's keep up the momentum #TTCriders!
