EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2006 AMT 5 Planning AND INNOVATION

Since 1996, the AMT has been responsible for public transit planning at the metropolitan level. With its metropolitan vision of passenger transportation, which allows it to conduct strategic planning and efficiently coordinate travel in the greater Montréal area by promoting the use of public transit, the AMT contributes to improving the quality of life for individuals and the community as a whole.

THE 2007–2008–2009 CEP Guided by the principles of sustainable development and ecomobility, the AMT wants its efficient, effective public transit services to contribute to developing a united, attractive, competitive and viable metropolitan area. THREE-YEAR CAPITAL EXPENDITURE PROGRAM 2007–2008–2009: $848.2 MILLION To achieve this goal, it is crucial to develop an integrated system of public transit services throughout the metropolitan area. At the core of the system Authorized projects: $389.9 million (including $129.3 million for the metro extension to Laval) stands the metro, with its constant flow of passengers to and from bus routes, taxis, bicycles, etc. On the periphery, the commuter train system and Projects under study for authorization: metropolitan transit system (metropolitan express , park-and-ride $458.3 million lots, terminuses, reserved lanes) crisscross the region. In 1997, the AMT issued a strategic plan setting out its goals, priorities and expected results for 2007 in the development of public transit. Based on an assessment of the work and initiatives undertaken in recent years, the AMT will prepare a new strategic plan in 2007, presenting its new 10-year vision (2007–2017) for the development of metropolitan transit in the greater Montréal area. One of the measures it plans to take to do this is to integrate intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), which combine information and communication technologies with a view to enhancing customer services and cutting costs.

Ridership indicators RIDERSHIP (in thousands) From 1986 to 1995, ridership on public transit (metro, buses, 450,000 commuter trains) declined by an average of 1% per year. Fortunately, since 1996, thanks among other things to an 435,000 active partnership with the various transit organizations, the 420,000 trend has reversed: ridership has risen constantly, resulting in overall growth of 12.2% in 11 years, or an average annual 405,000 increase of 1.2%.

GROWTH IN RIDERSHIP IN 2006

• 1.5% for all public transit • 3.2% for commuter trains • 18.0% for metropolitan express buses

Information on mobility and metropolitan transit Since strategic planning of the development of public transit services depends on a good knowledge of transit needs, the AMT manages a program of surveys and polls, with four main types: Regional Origin-Destination (O-D) surveys: these surveys, carried out by telephone interviews every five years, in cooperation with other transit partners in the greater Montréal area, present an accurate picture of passenger travel in the metropolitan area. The next survey will be conducted in 2008. Surveys on board commuter trains and buses: these surveys, which are conducted regularly, make it possible to track passengers’ travel habits and needs. Corporate surveys: these surveys feed into analyses of transit issues in relation to the workplace. They are useful for planning employer programs and adjusting services based on the needs of particular companies. Opinion polls: these polls, carried out in relation to specific projects, make it possible to analyze needs and target actions.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2006 AMT 9 Commuter TRAIN SYSTEM

When it was created, the AMT was given responsibility for the metropolitan Montréal area’s commuter train system. Ever since 1996, when only the Deux-Montagnes and Dorion-Rigaud lines were in service, the AMT has worked to consolidate and develop the system. Since then, it has added three lines: Blainville in 1997, Mont-Saint-Hilaire in 2000 and Delson in 2001.

In 2005, it extended the Delson line to Candiac, and in January 2007, it extended the Blainville line to Saint-Jérôme. Moreover, in 2006, the Québec government authorized the construction of a sixth line that will serve eastern Montréal and the northeast off-island suburbs (Repentigny, Terrebonne and Mascouche) in the metropolitan area: the Train de l’Est.

AT A GLANCE After 11 years of existence, during which ridership on the commuter train system more than doubled, the AMT must manage its success and plan to 15.0 million trips maintain its assets and increase its services to meet the growing demand and 5 lines ensure the long-term viability of the system. An investment of approximately 50 stations $615.4 million is needed to maintain and develop the system in the next few years. 39 park-and-ride lots 14,505 parking spaces Moreover, based on its periodic surveys of customer expectations, the AMT regularly consolidates the services it offers to users, adapting the numbers of departures and parking spaces and improving the system’s security and reliability. The Montréal region’s commuter train system is in sixth place in North America in terms of ridership, after the New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, and Toronto regions.1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2006 AMT 11 RTMA (METROPOLITAN AREA BUS SYSTEM)

With its 19 public transit routes, the metropolitan area bus system (RTMA) efficiently connects all the districts of the metropolitan region that are not served by commuter trains or the metro, especially those with a small population. With 1.9 million car drivers making use of park-and-ride lots, 26.3 million users benefiting from the metropolitan reserved lanes, and close to 66.6 million customers each year in the AMT’s terminuses, the metropolitan bus system constitutes a vital component of the Montréal area’s transit system.

AT A GLANCE Equipment The metropolitan terminuses are transfer points where passengers can change 19 METROPOLITAN ROUTES from a local bus line to a metropolitan line, or switch modes efficiently and 2 METROPOLITAN EXPRESS BUSES transfer to the metro or a commuter train. Park-and-ride lots are exclusively reserved for public transit customers, who 29 RESERVED LANES can leave their cars there, usually free of charge, and continue their travel by 83.4 km public transit. 13 TERMINUSES Reserved lanes for buses, some of which may also be used by taxis and , 201 platforms help to reduce travel time and ensure regular service.
