PurposeRegional transportation plan

The Big Move is a regional transportation plan (RTP) published in 2008 by Metrolinx for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) in Ontario, Canada. It made specific recommendations for transit projects, resulting from seven "green papers" and two "white papers" released for public discussion. A draft RTP was released alongside draft investment strategy in September 2008. After a series of stakeholder consultations and public meetings, the final RTP was approved and published by Metrolinx on 28 November 2008.

From its publication, it was Metrolinx's mandate to implement the RTP, which included new and improved GO Transit service, local rapid transit, stations, and fare payment systems.
