New Ottawa Light Rail Transit Web Site

The City of Ottawa today unveiled a new section on its Web site dedicated to Light Rail Transit (LRT). The site, ottawa.ca/lrt, is the place to go for anyone looking for information on Ottawa’s future public transportation system.

The new comprehensive site contains timelines for the construction project and links to other LRT Web sites around the world. As the LRT project moves forward, the site will grow to include project schedules, construction updates, information on Ottawa’s future LRT lines and more. Visit regularly to stay up to date on LRT progress.

Construction of the North-South LRT line is expected to begin this summer, with service scheduled to start in late 2009. The North-South line is being built with funding contributions from the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario. The North-South LRT project is also being undertaken as a Public Private Partnership (P3) to maximize benefits for taxpayers.
