Niagara to GTA Corridor

The proposed Niagara to GTA Corridor will stretch from the southern U.S.-Canadian border at Niagara and Fort Erie to the east and the GTA to the west. It will connect the Greater Golden Horseshoe of Ontario from Niagara to the City of Hamilton and the Greater Toronto Area.

Niagara will be able to capitalize on its many strengths and opportunities arising from increasing global trade if the transportation connections between the region and the GTA are improved.

The role of the Niagara to GTA Corridor as a catalyst for new and enhanced economic opportunities includes but is not limited to providing:

  • Critical access and connectivity for Hamilton International Airport and its surrounding development lands;

  • Alternative truck access and expanding potential markets in support of the planned intermodal terminals at the Port of Hamilton;

  • More efficient connectivity between industrial employment lands in Welland and Port Colborne and points to the west including HIA and economic centres such as the GTA and Windsor;

  • Alternative access to international border crossings
