If elected, what would you and your party do to fast track increased daily train service and access to this important public service? Parm Gill PC Over the past 15 years, Milton has seen many an- nouncements but no action at our GO station. There have been. an- nouncements made to ex- pand the parking lot and bring more service here.

It is es- sential that Ontario's tran- sit system is affordable, re- liable, and convehient. I support the rapid elec- trification of passenger rail service and expansion of - all-day two-way GO ser- vice. We support prioritiz- ing low-cost high-perfor- mance rail in the short- term as the province plans long term for higher cost, high-speed rail projects. I intend to ensure urban rapid transit projects fea- ture effective integration with local transit services, especially with a new Lau- rier university campus slated on the other side of town from the Milton GO 'Station - it's hard to imag- ine the current 25-year time frame will meet those extra needs effectively. Sometimes I hear dis- cussed a new GO station at Tremaine Road, but this is not likely as it would be so close to the Escarpment. However, a station on Tra- falgar at Highway 401 is proposed and I would pur- sue this as a potential solu- tion with Metrolinx. For new transit pro- The Third is FREE! S DAYS ONLY!

Within the next five years, we are mov ing forward with 15-minute peak-time rail service in Milton. Recently, the Liberal government announced a massive expansion of the Milton GO Station. This in- cludes 850 additional park- ing spaces, a new station building and passenger pickup zones. In addition, we are ex- panding Highway 401 be- tween Mississauga and Milton from six lanes to 12. And, we have added more GO bus service between Milton and the GTA. We are transforming the way people travel across the province by investing $21.3 billion to GO Transit, including more GO bus trips from Milton to Cam- bridge and increasing trips on the Milton line to 30 per cent. As your MPP, I will con- tinue to fight for more tran- sit for Milton families. HIGH BUI LOW LUSTRE commuters > woo" uojjeyapisul
