Don’t Get Caught in the Slow Lane
The excitement is building in the GTA as Toronto prepares to host the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games this July and August! The games will bring over 7000 athletes from across the Caribbean, Latin, South and North American to compete in 36 sports.
The influx of visitors to our city this summer will impact traffic and public transit in and around the sport venues and beyond.
Employers should take the time to review the location of the event venues and the temporary traffic plans put in place during the games, including the addition of HOV lanes. Being prepared, planning alternate routes and delivery times, scheduling summer shutdowns and vacations are some ways employers can reduce impact on their employee’s commute and the transit of goods and services.

- 235 km of HOV lanes in GTA
- Beginning June 29 until August 15, 2015
