Toronto Area Transportation Operating Authority
- Toronto Area Transportation Operating Authority
Toronto Area Transportation Operating Authority was a municipally run transit agency int he Toronto, Canada area that had responsibility for GO Transit. It was created on August 7 1999 when the provincial government of Premier of Ontario Mike Harris downloaded provincial services. It was an arm of the Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB). The downloaded service was disliked by Greater Toronto Area cities because of its lack of funds to expand or run the service. Opposition quickly mounted, but its elimination had to wait for Harris to leave office.
The agency ceased to exist on January 1, 2002 when GO Transit was returned to the province under the GO Transit Act, 2001.
The TATOA name was displayed on some GO Transit vehicles, but that was shortlived and painted over after the GO Transit Act came into effect.
