Transportation in Vaughan
The City of Vaughan in Ontario, Canada offers a complex transportation infrastructure, which includes highways, public transit, regional roads, municipality-funded roads, and train services.
Because of Vaughan's proximity to Toronto, Vaughan residents use Toronto Pearson International Airport in order to travel to various domestic and international destinations.
Alternatives to the Toronto Pearson International Airport are available in the nearby cities of Hamilton and Kitchener-Waterloo, where the Hamilton and Waterloo Airports are located.
Vaughan was once home to the now-closed Maple Airport. The only aerodromes that remain in the city are small private facilities. Two are unregistered helipads, one located at the Hwy 7 & 400 Walmart and another at the Eagle's Nest golf club in Maple. The third is the Kleinburg/Tavares Field (Identifier CTV4), a small grass strip with a 1000' runway and a helipad, located near Teston Road & Pine Valley Drive in Kleinburg
Within the city, York Region Transit (YRT), which includes Viva (bus rapid transit); and the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), provide public transit services. Prior to 2001, Vaughan was served by a municipal-funded transit system, namely Vaughan Transit. In 2001, the York Region government amalgamated the Vaughan Transit with four other municipal-managed transit systems in York Region to form YRT. In 2005, York Region Transit launched Viva, which operated in parts of Vaughan on Highway 7. In addition, GO Transit provides commuter trains and buses.
YRT serves Vaughan with over 20 routes. Most of its bus routes operate on main roads throughout Vaughan, which is laid out in a grid-like system. Fares are $4.00 regardless of age. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates one contracted route along Bathurst Street, and a second (TTC or YRT) fare is charged when crossing the city limits at Steeles Avenue in the relevant direction. However, a TTC fare is not charged on YRT buses entering Toronto to make connections at terminals. York Region Transit allows Vaughan residents to travel around York Region, and to the surrounding Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area with GO Transit Connections.
It has five major terminals in Vaughan: Promenade Terminal located at the Promenade Mall, Vaughan Mills Terminal located at Vaughan Mills Mall, and at three TTC subway stations: SmartCentres Place Bus Terminal at Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, Highway 407, and Pioneer Village.
Connections to other transit systems include Brampton Transit, GO Transit, and the aforementioned TTC.
