Metrolinx has appointed AECOM to serve as the technical advisor for its Hamilton Light Rail Transit (LRT) line in Ontario, Canada.
This 14-kilometre transit line will be the city’s first light rail transit system. It will be designed to accommodate future growth and development while improving connectivity and attracting economic development in Hamilton.
Richard Barrett, chief executive of AECOM’s Canada region said:As Ontario advances its record investment in public transit, we look forward to working with Metrolinx and our partners to support a more connected and economically vibrant Hamilton through accessible and sustainable transportation. AECOM has played a critical role in light rail projects across Ontario and Canada, and our teams are excited to deploy their depth of experience and local expertise to deliver this transformative project.
Metrolinx’s LRT project will deploy new light rail vehicles along dedicated tracks.
AECOM’s integrated team will support Metrolinx in delivering the full breadth of infrastructure for this project.
