Dan, our Transit Practice Lead, took a quick break to catch some films at the Toronto International Film Festival. Each September, Toronto’s King Street Transit Priority Corridor transforms into the TIFF red carpet - not too shabby a cameo for one of North America’s pioneering transit priority pilot projects.
