York Region<\/a> operates York Region Transit<\/a> (YRT) as a local transit service and Viva, which is a rapid transit service. Typically, Viva is fed passengers by YRT, which travels in and out of neighbourhoods. Both services are operated by YRT, a branch of York Region’s Transportation Dept., and work together as one system to provide you with seamless connections across all nine municipalities.<\/p>\n

As strange as it may seem, York Region Rapid Transit Corporation is separate from YRT and Viva, and does not operate the service. York Region Rapid Transit Corporation is responsible for designing and building the rapid transit plan [vivaNext].<\/p>\n

That’s us. We’re responsible for designing, developing and building the future rapid transit system in York Region. Through a process of public consultations, we gather input from the community to ensure that the needs of local businesses, residents and other groups are being met and their concerns are addressed. The new system allows you to move between regions and within York Region faster than ever before. That’s thanks to subway extensions and rapidway lanes, where transit vehicles can move without getting caught in traffic.<\/p>\n

As each vivaNext project is completed, YRT takes on the operations, and also develops service plans for where and how often each route will travel. For you, it means a seamless and well-connected service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
