Ottawa Light
Rail Transit (LRT)
Confederation Line
Project Description
The City of Ottawa’s Light Rail Transit (LRT) program was the first of its kind in North America. The project, delivered in two stages, involved the conversion of a bus transitway to an LRT service integrated into the city’s existing transit service, OC Transpo.
The scope of Stage 1 included the expansion of Line 1 (the Confederation Line), a 12.5-km electric light-rail service that connects 13 stations from Tunney’s Pasture in the west to Blair in the east.
