Comfortable and accessible stations<\/h1>\n\n\n\n\n

Several stations will border the tram\u2019s circuit. Strategically positioned, they will allow the safe boarding and disembarkation of passengers.\u00a0 Built accordingly to the universal accessibility principles, they will offer comfortable waiting times, sheltered from the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Easier access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The stations will be accessible<\/a> to persons with reduced mobility thanks to the ramps around the station. In addition, given that the station platform is at the same level as the floor of the tram, it will be easier to get on and off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to properly serve users living near the tram, there will be a local bus service provided by the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de transport de l’Outaouais (STO)<\/a> wich will connect the neighbourhoods and future stations along the tram\u2019s circuit<\/a>. Those stations, most of which are located at intersections, will be located at an average distance of 700 metres apart from one another to optimize access by residents in several sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locations are based on several criteria:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
