GOAL SYSTEMS — SEPTEMBER 2012 — The Most Advanced Software for the Optimization of the Transport Operations Casablanca Tramway opens its doors to Optimization CasaTram, operated by the RATP Group, is ready to begin operation of Casablanca's light rail using the GoalRail® metro planning system SEPTEMBER 2012 — Casablanca, MOROCCO. This sys- tem's first 30-kilometer long tram route is expected to begin operation on 12/12/12. It will connect the city's main neighborhoods located east and southwest of the downtown district, and will have 49 stations. It is estimated that 250,000 passengers will take ad- vantage of this new service each day. The goal is to re- duce accidents and delays while offering rapid, on-time, and accessible light rail transport, at an affordable price. To achieve these objectives, GOAL SYSTEMS will be in charge of carrying out the best planning and opti- mizing all operations using GoalRail® metro and GoalStaff® software. Casablanca's transit authority, Casa Transports, has awarded a five-year contract to RATP's subsidiary com- pany RATP Développement, for operation and maintenance of the city's first Light Rail line, as well as for overseeing the preparation phases for operations and personnel. From the very beginning, RAPT Développement chose GOAL SYSTEMS to work jointly in providing optimized scheduling for the Casablanca light rail operations, once again relying upon the mutual trust and confidence developed during earlier projects such as the Algiers light rail system in Algeria and the Gautrain system that con- nects Pretoria and Johannesburg in South Africa.
