Enhanced Pavement Markings at Streetcar Stops Pilot

As part of the City of Toronto’s Vision Zero commitment to eliminate traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries, Transportation Services and the TTC are undertaking a pilot project to evaluate the effectiveness of enhanced pavement markings at select TTC streetcar stops.

This initiative aims to improve pedestrian safety where people board and alight streetcars in mixed traffic lanes by increasing stop compliance by people driving.

Between 2014 and 2024, 141 collisions were reported where people driving illegally passed open streetcar doors and struck a pedestrian.
