The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) celebrated the 60th new streetcar entering service, completing the delivery of new streetcars purchased since 2021. 

The fleet expansion was jointly funded through the Government of Canada and the Province of Ontario, who committed up to $180 million each, with the City of Toronto providing the remaining $208 million.

With all 60 vehicles now in operation, the TTC has expanded its streetcar fleet by nearly 30%, a significant step toward modernizing Toronto’s transit system and delivering more reliable, accessible service across the city.

Alstom produced the 60 streetcars at its Thunder Bay facility. Delivery of these vehicles began in 2023, with the final streetcar arriving in late 2025.

TTC’s Expanded Streetcar Fleet

The expanded fleet will support six-minute or better service on streetcar routes, as recommended in TTC's Five-Year Service and Customer Experience Action Plan. In the future, this fleet will also support any proposed expansion of TTC's streetcar network, including east along Queen’s Quay.

“We thank all our funding partners for their continued investment in the TTC,” said TTC CEO Mandeep S. Lali. “Without support for new vehicles, better facilities, and state-of-good-repair, we would not be able to deliver the kind of effective, reliable transit that Torontonians deserve and expect.”

In addition to procuring 60 streetcars, the Government of Canada’s $180 million contribution is being used to support upgrades at the Hillcrest Complex to accommodate storage and maintenance for the new streetcars. 

Construction at Hillcrest is underway following a groundbreaking ceremony on March 6.

With 11 streetcar routes spanning approximately 192 miles, the TTC’s streetcar network is the largest and busiest in North America. In 2024, customers took more than 34.5 million streetcar trips.

All TTC streetcars are fully accessible and zero emission, supporting Toronto’s climate and equity goals.
