Excellent new legislation.
In Canada:
- Quebec’s Bill 137 got Montreal’s REM from planning to revenue service in under 6 years.
- Ontario’s Building Transit Faster Act took the Ontario Line from concept to construction in 2 years.
Permitting reforms matter if you care about timelines + costs!

I introduced new legislation to speed up permits for public transit projects, including high speed rail.
When transit agencies build bus or rail lines, they’re often delayed by local governments or utilities that delay or fail to grant a permit.
It’s a big problem & causes delays/cost escalation.🧵
