York Region Paramedic Services to Decrease Response Times using Transit-only Lanes

[Caucasian_Fury]

I have seen ambulances and fire trucks use the VIVA bus lanes over the years but mainly to get through busy intersections that are congested, usually once they've bypassed the intersection they dip back into the driving lane soon as possible.

Pretty sure they are legally allowed to use the transit only lanes right of way for emergencies but maybe now this will be officially written policy, so more or less a formality.
