TORONTO — Siemens Mobility will provide track, signal, and right-of-way maintenance for Metrolinx rail operations in the West Region of Toronto, expanding an existing agreement with the provincial agency that oversees public transportation in the Toronto and Hamilton area.
“We are excited to continue our partnership with Metrolinx, helping them keep their systems running safely and efficiently as they transport millions of passengers every year,” Yves Desjardins-Siciliano, CEO of Siemens Mobility in Canada, said in a Tuesday press release announcing the new agreement. “Our world-class maintenance know-how will help Metrolinx attain the next level of system availability and operational excellence. The importance of keeping our rail systems running safely and seamlessly continues to be of the utmost importance for transportation operators – now and into the future.”
Metrolinx, the parent organization of GO Transit and the Union Pearson Express service, operates 20 transit lines and serves more than 100 million passengers. The new agreement, effective Spring 2023, adds to existing services provided by Siemens including signal and communications support at the Metrolinx Network Operations Center in Oakville, Ont.
