Project Plan

Summary

Building a world-class transit system – one that is rapid, reliable, affordable and sustainable – is a major undertaking. The challenge is even more daunting when you consider the lifetime of the project and its potential benefit for future generations. While the Rail Implementation Office has been established to oversee the development and delivery of our Light Rail Transit system, ultimate success will require the full involvement of the City and its residents.

Here you can find Background Information about the history of the project and all key reports to date. You can review the Current Status of the project and take a look at the next steps.
