To improve the speed and reliability of surface transit the TTC employs several Transit Priority Measures (TPMs). TPMs include policies, technology, and infrastructure projects that support the bus and streetcar network. This presentation gives information on the supporting policies that enable these measures and how they are implemented. The main TPMs that the TTC uses and will be covered include: Transit Signal Priority, Queue Jump Lanes, Bus Priority Lanes, and Regulatory Changes. In addition, several projects will be presented that demonstrate these TPMs in action.
