SYSTRA Canada is responsible for the delivery and audit of the ridership forecast and the planning study (cost benefit and financial analyses) for the High Frequency Rail System for passenger service between Windsor, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Quebec City. <\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project consists in providing VIA with the capacity to increase train frequency and improve on-time performance with the purchase of rights-of-way, the construction of a track dedicated to passenger trains, different improvements on shared tracks in the corridor, and by an increase in rolling stock fleet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eight options have been developed and assessed in the 1,200 km corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
