High occupancy vehicle (HOV) planning and policy development in Ontario, Canada, are discussed. The focus is mainly on activities in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), the largest urban region in Canada. The GTA extends about 100 miles east-west and 80 miles north-south. The discussion centers first on the activities of the Provincial government, then on the efforts of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. The Ontario HOV policy formally recognizes the importance of HOV facilities in addressing future transportation, environmental, social, and economic needs. The objective of the Ontario HOV system is to complement and enhance the transit systems, not to compete with them. The long-term vision for the HOV system in the Toronto area includes HOV lanes on all major highways. In the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto concern is for the arterial street network rather than the Provincial Highway system. Arterial street HOV lanes can help address suburban traffic congestion by focusing on person movement rather than vehicular movement. HOV lanes can also provide priority to buses, thereby improving reliability and operating speeds. The proposed network of HOV lanes will penetrate most suburban areas and will connect major employment and residential areas. To ensure that the public understands and supports the arterial street HOV lanes, special attention is being paid to public awareness and marketing programs.
