Canada and Ontario recognize the importance of public transit in supporting more efficient and sustainable transportation and in mitigating congestion in urban areas. Consequently, both governments have made substantial commitments to public transit in recent years, including: a joint announcement in 2007 of FLOW and MoveOntario, a $4.5 billion investment in transit and highway projects in the Greater Toronto Area; Canada's commitments to infrastructure programming, transit capital trusts, and the permanent extension of the federal Gas Tax Fund; and, Ontario's commitment to transit, including a dedicated gas tax, its inter-regional transit system, GO Transit, and MoveOntario 2020, a major, long-term investment in transit. Further, Ontario has created Metrolinx, a new regional transportation agency that has been charged with the task of recommending projects, investment priorities, delivery methods and timelines through a Regional Transportation Plan for the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton. Canada and Ontario agree to cooperate in reviewing Metrolinx's draft Regional Transportation Plan and to discuss its proposed initial projects through the Infrastructure Framework Committee. Canada agrees that projects identified under this process will receive priority consideration for funding under the BCF. Canada and Ontario agree to continue their ongoing collaboration to invest in public transit in the future.
