NGE and its partners have been selected as preferred proponent in the construction team for the RSSOM contract for the Ontario Line metro project in Toronto.
NGE as part of the Connect 6ix team, has been selected as a preferred proponent for the Ontario Line Rolling Stock, Systems, Operations and Maintenance (RSSOM) contract. NGE will supply and install the railway systems and the depot in a joint-venture with Hitachi Rail and Webuild Group. Connect 6ix is leading this PPP project, and is composed of Plenary Americas, Hitachi Rail, Webuild Group and Transdev Canada.
The Ontario Line RSSOM project is one of several contracts to deliver the Ontario Line, a 15.6-kilometre-long standalone rapid transit line. This sustainable mobility project will connect the Ontario Science Centre to Exhibition/Ontario Place in Toronto, with an expected 388,000 daily boardings. Half of this future line will be underground, with 15 stations and more than 40 connections to other metro lines, regional trains, and bus services.
Connect 6ix ranked first after the evaluation of the RFP which was submitted in June 2022. The team will now enter in discussions with Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx and a final contract is expected to be awarded later this year.
