• The Eglinton Crosstown LRT Project contractually requires the constructor, Crosslinx Transit Solutions Constructors
(CTSC), to embed community benefits in their work, including ensuring that local communities and historically
disadvantaged groups benefit directly from the province’s $5.3 billion investment.
• We are committed to making the pathway to professional, administrative and technical (PAT) roles in the construction
industry more accessible to people facing barriers to employment.
• CTS has hired 209 people in PAT roles to date, as well as 185 apprentices and journey persons from historically
disadvantaged and equity seeking groups.
• We are committed to supporting small and medium sized businesses along the Eglinton corridor, businesses
impacted by our construction, and social enterprises that create employment and training opportunities for people
who face systemic barriers to employment.
• CTS has spent more than $800,000 on social enterprises and more than $7 million at local businesses.

• With construction remaining classified as an essential industry, work on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT continues
through the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Crosslinx Transit Solutions, the constructor of the Crosstown, has undertaken a comprehensive COVID-19 response
plan to minimize the risk to workers, keeping staff and the communities around our sites safe. This plan includes:
• A mask mandate for all workers on site
• A daily screening questionnaire prior to entering site
• Frequent rapid testing for workers on all sites
• Outdoor seating/break spaces to minimize indoor interactions
• Mandatory isolation for any worker who may express symptoms
• Crosslinx is encouraging all employees to make an appointment to receive a vaccine as soon as they are eligible to
do so.
