The research is motivated by the contrast in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) metropolitan area between population density of approximately 1000 people/km2, currently growing about 2%/year, and its underdeveloped rapid transit network, expanding about 1 km/year over the last thirty years. The research utilizes the publicly available data compiled from 73 public infrastructure and 15 subway and rapid transit projects built in the GTA, complemented with two recent rapid transit projects in Ottawa and Vancouver Canadian metropolitan areas. Recognizing that any rapid transit project involves a series of decisions, this research initiates with the formulation of a decision-making framework tailored for GTA rapid transit projects. This framework delineates the project delivery process by mapping out key decisions along with their legislative requirements and primary decision-makers. This research examines the role of politicians within the context of democratic societies, where elected officials make decisions on behalf of their constituents. By analyzing the GTA rapid transit expansion history, the study identifies the persistent increase in costs and timelines on the modern rapid transit projects. Analysis is then extended to the second and third densest Canadian metropolitan areas of Montreal and Vancouver, where akin situation persists. An observation about current decision-making process as a major reason for constantly rising costs and timelines and thus, not adhering to the sustainable development principles adopted by the United Nations in 2015, is formulated. In this research, a novel Most Sustainable Infrastructure Selection Methodology (MSISM) along with its decision-making framework is developed to address these challenges. The MSISM framework is established by harmonizing current economic and environmental assessments with global best practices in sustainability evaluation, offering a significant advancement in public infrastructure planning. Primarily, it optimizes the current project planning leading to reduction of project delivery timeline and cost, while increasing overall productivity and enhancing infrastructure sustainability. Additionally, by facilitating a fair comparison between underground and at-grade transit alignments, inclusive of their optimal construction methods, it enables the selection of the most sustainable long-term rapid transit option. Adoption of the MSISM decision-making framework can assist with sustainable rapid transit expansion in any densely populated metropolitan area.
