Union Pearson (UP) Express [electronic resource] : funded & underway project profile.

"UP Express will operate on a 25-kilometre rail route. Twenty-two kilometres of the route will share Metrolinx's upgraded Kitchener GO railway corridor. A new elevated rail spur, currently under construction, will connect the Kitchener line to Toronto Pearson Terminal 1. Trains will depart Union Station and Toronto Pearson every 15 minutes and will make stops at Bloor and Weston GO Stations. The service will address a significant gap in airport-to-downtown travel in Toronto. Each year, more than five million cars travel between the airport and downtown, with this number expected to grow to nine million by 2020. This service is expected to remove up to 1.2 million car trips in its first year of operation alone."
