Davenport is a community defined by rail.
But for too long, provincial governments have taken a short-sighted approach to building transit, one that has left our community with a long list of broken promises - like the Liberal promise to electrify the GO Train network by 2017.
It’s long past time we made our transit system cleaner, more affordable and more convenient, with full fare integration. It's time to accelerate electrification of the GO Train network, to replace the dirty diesel trains running on the Union-Pearson Express, Barrie and Kitchener GO Lines with faster, greener electric trains.
Cleaner air and fewer emissions are more important than ever
