The Passenger Systems Office was established in 1982 within the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications as the Inter-City Transportation Policy Office. In 1985 the office was moved from the Policy Planning Branch, where it had existed since 1982, to the new Provincial Transportation Division (by 1989 this was known as the Provincial Transportation Program).
The Passenger Systems Office ceased to exist in 1990, when it was merged with the Goods Distribution Systems Office to form the Provincial Transportation Systems Office.
