The project partners

For this project, the Société de transport de l’Outaouais is working closely with its partners: the ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable (MTMD), the National Capital Commission, Ville de Gatineau and the City of Ottawa. Because of its interprovincial nature, this project at the heart of the nation’s capital calls for integrated planning of mobility and land use on the Quebec and Ontario sides of the Ottawa River.
