The STO is concerned by the lack of information about the federal government’s financial participation in the Gatineau-Ottawa tram project in the budget tabled this afternoon.

Over the years, this mode of transportation has evolved significantly. Today’s trams are a far cry from those of the past. Overview of the history of the Outaouais’ tram.

A tram is a dedicated transportation service that lessens urban sprawl by promoting densification thanks to its offer of high frequency service, its accessibility and its ability to get people close to where they work and play.

Designed to meet mobility needs over the next five decades for the city’s west end, the tram is a lever that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, help limit urban sprawl and promote the region’s economic prosperity.

The Société de transport de l’Outaouais (STO) this morning released the final summary and recommendations (Report 6) of the Supplementary Study for the Development of a Higher-Order Public Transit System in Gatineau’s West End.
