Siemens Mobility has won a contract to provide maintenance services for Metrolinx, Ontario’s local public operator, for their railway infrastructure system in the West Region of Toronto.

As Siemens Mobility states, the contract, which has a three-year term with the option to extend for two more years, covers track, signal, and right-of-way maintenance services. Siemens Mobility’s digital tools and software will complement the on-the-ground experience and knowledge of their teams to provide Metrolinx with around-the-clock service and up to 100% system availability. This partnership highlights Siemens Mobility’s commitment to being a reliable partner to its customers worldwide and will ultimately enhance the passenger experience and support passenger growth in the future.

Metrolinx is a Crown agency that integrates and manages public transport on the road and rail in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. With over 20 transit lines and serving more than 100 million passengers, Metrolinx aims to improve the coordination and integration of all modes of transportation in the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Siemens Mobility has been providing various products and services to Metrolinx, including Signal and Communications back-office support and fault control services at Metrolinx's Network Operations Center in Oakville, Ontario. This new maintenance service contract will strengthen Siemens Mobility's partnership with Metrolinx and expand the company's footprint in the Greater Toronto Area.

Siemens Mobility has a history of providing transportation solutions in Canada for over 40 years, such as railway infrastructure maintenance services in Quebec and Ontario, light rail vehicles in Edmonton and Calgary, trainsets delivered to VIA Rail Canada, new trainsets for Ontario Northland, and an order for locomotives for Montreal's exo. The company has also been responsible for the rail electrification and overall system maintenance of the light rail transit network in Kitchener-Waterloo.
