Making it easy to get around

Experience the VMC’s award winning intermodal transit system.

“Place making and architecture means transit does not take a back seat and is actually a central space and heart of the downtown core where interaction and people gathering and living and working all happen.” – Mary-Frances Turner, President, York Region Rapid Transit Corp

 

Subway

Did you know Vaughan is the only urban growth centre in the Greater Toronto Area, outside of Toronto, that has subway access? Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station is the new northwestern terminus of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC)’s Line 1. 

The VMC is a quick five-minute subway ride to York University Station and a 45-minute ride to Union Station. A full map of the TTC Subway and Streetcar Map is below. An interactive map is also available.

Active transportation

Bike lanes and bike boxes are already on Highway 7, Millway Avenue and Apple Mill Road, and will be expanded as the VMC builds out. 

Active transportation—including walking, biking, and other —is an important part of the VMC’s vision and will continue to get easier.
