This 24-kilometre tramway will become a major link between downtown Gatineau and
Ottawa, Canada’s capital.

### Sustainable mobility and a connected future

In collaboration with the architectural firms Richez\_Associés and Provencher
Roy, the Groupe Porteur is proud to participate in this major public transit
project, which will improve mobility and connect communities by providing
transformative and sustainable solutions. As part of this contract, the Groupe
Porteur will support the TramGO Project Office throughout all phases of the
Gatineau-Ottawa tramway project. The project will be carried out in three
phases: technical and environmental studies, procurement, construction
supervision and commissioning tests.

### SYSTRA in Canada

Based mainly in Montreal since 1990, SYSTRA Canada has built up a wealth of
experience in urban projects, including the modernisation of the Toronto and
Montreal metros, engineering for CDPQ Infra for the Eastern REM, and the GO

Quebec City tramway, a major urban transformation for the capital of ‘La Belle
