The Ontario government remains committed to supporting sustainable, environmentally-friendly transportation. As part of the goal to make it easier for drivers to use environmentally friendly transportation, new electric vehicle charging stations are up and running at five GO stations. GO Transit is the regional public transit service for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.

Effective November 27, 2013, charging stations will be available at GO stations in Aurora, Centennial, Lincolnville, Oakville, and Whitby. Additionally, electric vehicle charging facilities will open in early 2014 at the Ajax, Burlington, Pickering, Erindale, and Clarkson GO stations.

For the first month, the cost to charge a vehicle will be free of charge. Following that, each charging session will cost $2.50.

The new stations are part of a three-year pilot program, with the potential for expansion, pending demand.
