Toronto, ON (August 22, 2017)<\/strong>\u00a0– The 4TRANSIT joint venture, comprising three leading Canadian engineering consulting firms, Hatch, Parsons, and WSP (TSX:WSP), is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a CAD $300 million contract for providing technical advisory services for two major work packages tendered under Metrolinx\u2019s 10-year Regional Express Rail (RER) Capital Program.<\/p>\n

The RER Capital Program \u2013 a CAD $13.5 billion undertaking that also includes a CAD $7 billion State of Good Repair and Optimization and Expansion program \u2013 is designed to transform the GO Transit rail network in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) to a two-way, all-day electrified service, where trains run every 15 minutes or better. This program will significantly boost the frequency and overall number of trips the GO Transit system offers. Metrolinx anticipates increased GO Transit ridership to approximately 127 million customers within five years of the RER Capital Program\u2019s completion and expects to reduce journey times for select cross-region transit trips by as much as 50 per cent.<\/p>\n

Michael Schatz, Hatch\u2019s Global Managing Director of Infrastructure, comments, \u201cHatch is very pleased to be serving Metrolinx and the GTHA community by working on the Regional Express Rail Program with our joint venture partners. Through collaboration, technical excellence and a focus on outcomes, we look forward to a successful implementation of the program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mike Johnson, Parsons\u2019 Infrastructure Group President, notes, \u201cThis massive transformation of the GO rail network represents the convergence of innovative technology and a fast-track infrastructure expansion that will benefit everyone in the GTHA. Metrolinx has entrusted Parsons and the entire 4TRANSIT team to help bring this important project to fruition, drawing on our extensive rail transit experience in Canada and across the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hugo Blasutta, WSP Canada\u2019s President and Chief Executive Officer, states, \u201cWSP is delighted to be working on another vital project with Metrolinx and our joint venture colleagues. Our selection reinforces the value of WSP\u2019s comprehensive rail systems and infrastructure expertise, our reputation for delivering innovative solutions and our ability to drive complex, integrated projects to successful completion.\u201d<\/p>\n
