The new business model carried by CDPQ infra for the Réseau express métropolitain - REM project (investor, prime contractor and operator) is a source of inspiration abroad. Several similar infrastructure projects are being discussed in Canada, but also in the United States and New Zealand.
L'équipe du bureau de projet du Réseau express métropolitain - REM est allée à la rencontre des citoyens pour savoir ce qu'ils pensaient des 3 options de design extérieur du REM. Exprimez-vous aussi : rem.info/fr/consultation // The REM project office team met with citizens to find out what they thought about the REM's 3 exterior design options. Share your comments with us: rem.info/en/consultation
After 3 days of exchange, Movin'On has come to an end. Our team was on site to present the REM and our CEO Macky Tall was invited to discuss the business model of CDPQ Infra as well as infrastructure needs through the world. Watch the panel: bit.ly/MovinOnConf
The interest in our model is being felt elsewhere in the world. A light train project in New Zealand (http://bit.ly/lightrailNZ) is a good example: CDPQ Infra has been identified as a potential partner http://bit.ly/NZsuperfund 🌏🚈
Le site Web du Réseau express métropolitain - REM est officiellement en ligne. Pensé pour le citoyen, le site a été conçu pour vous informer pendant toute la phase de construction du REM.

Did you know that Ville de Brossard is planning a new Highway 10 overpass? Located near the future REM Du Quartier station, the overpass will include a sidewalk and a bicycle path, allowing REM users to get to the Quartier DIX-30 more easily.
Rich in history, the Ville-Marie Borough has often been at the heart of the great changes in the city. Two REM stations will be located in this borough. Can you name them?

[FAQ REM] - Several citizens asked us the following question: will ice and snow affect the REM once in service?
Weather conditions represent an important challenge for a train or light rail operator. As part of the project, we have ensured that the consortium responsible for rolling stock is particularly sensitive to this aspect. For a example, a winter intervention plan will be required from the consortium.
The REM’s high frequency (that varies from 2.5 to 15 minutes) means closely monitoring operations at all times to quickly identify any problems. The high frequency is also meant to ensure regular trips to prevent snow and ice from accumulating (the same principle as a highway). One of the advantages of an automated system such as the REM is the possibility of letting it operate all night, if needed, during exceptionally icy or snowy conditions, to prevent accumulation on the track and catenary. For snow removal, specialized equipment will be used, and a ground team will be dedicated to keep the system operating.
The issue of winter conditions is important and we address this issue as part of the call for tender process, to identify solutions to deal with it.
The REM: a metro? Distinct from the commuter trains by its high frequency and its smaller cars, the REM will also run on dedicated tracks. Its urban integration is also different form that of the Montréal metro and commuter trains, with a ground, underground and overhead route. Here are pictures of other light rail around the world. Have you ever taken them?
Did you know that all REM stations will be equipped with elevators? In order to respect universal access principles, theelevators will be pass through, i.e. a person in a wheelchair or with a stroller will not need to return to get out of the elevator. Located near stairways, these elevators will be recognizable from a distance and glass-enclosed for maximum safety.
Choisir des transports durables : une des cinq résolutions environnementales à adopter en 2018 selon le Jour de la Terre Québec. Et vous, avez-vous des résolutions en lien avec le transport actif pour cette année?
We want to take this opportunity to wish you Happy Holidays and thank you for participating in our activities, following us on social media and interacting with us. Please note that our offices will be closed December 25 to January 3, inclusively.
What happened in 2017 for the REM? Here is the top 5 highlights, according to our team: - Confirmation of the financial commitments of the provincial and federal governments. - Agreement with Jour de la terre related to the planting of 250,000 trees to offset the greenhouse gases emitted during the construction phase. - Agreement in principle with the Union des producteurs agricoles and the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal related to the enhancement of agricultural lands. - “REM and You” tour which led to meetings with 13,000 users in metro and train stations during the summer of 2017. - Passage of Bill 137 and environmental decrees.
Nous sommes à la gare Centrale jusqu'à 17 h, face aux quais de la ligne Deux-Montagnes, afin de distribuer plusieurs affiches grand format (24 po x 18 po) de la carte du REM. Venez chercher la vôtre! Une belle idée cadeau pour les amateurs de transport collectif ou pour faire un emballage cadeau original.
Did you know that the Bois-de-Liesse nature park offers cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails, and a multitude of activities? In a few years you will be able to get there with the REM, which will pass every 15 minutes on weekends at Sunnybrooke Station, at just a few minutes walk from the park. Other good news: the station will be closed and temperate, perfect to warm up ❄️ http://bit.ly/1Tqd5ix
Why have a mini-metro that isn't compatible with regular trains? Billions of our tax dollars up in smoke for nothing! :$
Exactly what Montreal needs. Good for the environment and the health of daily commuters.
Corruption under a new guise. Ignore public disapproval of REM expressed during BAPE, force project through, raise costs for all transit riders in Montreal & facilitate sprawl for coming decades.
It's a great idea to have more public electric transportation in mtl ^^
Keep up the good work! Nevermind those party poopers like Trainsparence.
Présentement, je peux me rendre de chez moi de Saint-Hubert au Centre-Ville de Montreal sans payer de supplément ou m'acheter des billets de la STM car la RTL m'y transporte. Avec le REM, devrais-je payer un supplément? Si oui, c'est un projet de merde qui vas vous permettre de vous remplir les poches et nous délester car nous n'aurons pas d'autre choix que de payer. De plus, selon moi, les usagers de la région de Montréal(Laval, Montreal, Longueuil devrait pouvoir se déplacer entre Laval et la Rive-Sud sans payer de supplément (TRAM3) ou devoir se procurer des billets pour l'autre ville quand ont paie déjà un titre mensuel.
mauvais projet, on ferme des station de train déjà existante pour financer les partenaires de la caisse de dépôt et encourager l'étalage urbain .. il y existe de bien meilleures solutions à un prix beaucoup moins élevé. Non au projet
Pour avoir vu les premiers plans des stations et des bâtiments de bout de ligne, ça va être tout un projet. C'est sûr que certaines stations sont très audacieuses; par exemple Édouard Montpetit qui va se trouver à 70 mètres sous le niveau du sol, mais c'est un très beau défi et le plus gros projet depuis l'Expo 67.
Ce projet ne permettras pas la co-habitation avec le tunnel Mont-Royal pour le train de L'Est (Mascouche) et la futur ligne de VIA Rail de la Rive-Nord pour Québec.
Le REM va ruiner l'histoire la ligne Deux-Montagnes et du tunnel Mont-Royal. Seulement 4 voitures en heure de pointe, c'est illogique. Très mal planifié.
Structure politique dédié à éviter les débats public sur les projets d'envergure pour permettre au PLQ et à ses amis de continuer à voler les Québecois!
Enfin un projet novateur et ambitieux pour le transport en commun à Montréal. Espérons que la bureaucratie permettra sa réalisation avant que je prenne ma retraite !
Mauvais projet. Augmente mon temps de trajet pour un montant supplémentaire faramineux.
Félicitations pour votre projet novateur!
Excellent projet!!!
Enfin un projet de TeC moderne à Montréal.
