Metrolinx Enhanced Train Control and Signalling Project

ongoing

Parsons has begun providing technical advisory services for Metrolinx’s Enhanced Train Control and Conventional Signaling (ETCCS) project related to Metrolinx’s 10-year GO Transit expansion program that will deliver $13.5 billion in capital projects and $7 billion in state-of-good-repair works. This program will transform the GO Transit rail network with electrified trains running every 15 minutes or better, all day and in both directions, within the most heavily travelled sections of the GO network across Ontario’s Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). The GO Transit network spans more than 4,000 km² and carries 200,000+ commuters each day through more than 40 municipalities. As part of the GO expansion component of Metrolinx’s Regional Transportation Plan, Metrolinx plans to modernize southern Ontario’s GO Train system by adding stations, increasing system capacity, introducing 25-kV electrification, replacing its diesel locomotives with electrified locomotives, immunizing its existing fixed-block signaling system to the 25-kV traction power supply system, and deploying Enhanced Train Control (ETC) on the GO corridor and its train fleet.
