On January 1, 1987, once completed the transfer process of FEVE lines (Narrow- Gauge Spanish Railways) of Valencia and Alicante, Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana - Valencian Government Railways - (FGV) started to provide its services. During these 30 years, Metrovalencia and TRAM of Alicante have undergone an ongoing growth process, which has enabled the former regional narrow-gauge network called trenet to become a modern metro and tram network.

Sustainable mobility The federal administration, being aware of the growing need to strengthen the urban public trans- port, has responded with a strong investment for the future years.

This plan has an inves- tment of 53,000 million Canadian dollars (36.9 M€) for infrastruc- tures at provincial, territorial and municipal levels. This plan carries on with the investment path of the previous "Building Canada Plan", which was in force during 2007- 2014; therefore, the total sum allocated for infrastructures amou- nts to 60,000 million Canadian dollars (41,800 M€), for the period 2014-2025.

The first steps were taken in Toronto in 1954 and in Montreal in 1966. Since then, lines and routes have been added. The first light rail branch from Edmonton (Edmonton Light Rail Transit) was completed in 1978. A few years later, in 1981, Calgary also added to its network a line of these features. It is followed by the Vancouver Sky Train, which enters in commercial operation in 1986 and the O-Train, in Ottawa in 2001.

One of the priority initiatives is "Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit", with an investment of 5,300 million Canadian dollars (3,700 M€) to improve mobility in Toronto. It is a 19-kilometer light rail network that will run from Eglinton Avenue to Kennedy Station and will include a 10-ki- lometer underground section. These works benefit from the Spanish experience of companies such as ACS and Dragados, through its Iridium and Dragados Canada subsidiaries with Aecon. The construction is currently ongoing and will enter into commer- cial operation in 2021, according to the planned calendar.
