Parsons has begun providing technical advisory services for Metrolinx’s Enhanced Train Control and Conventional Signalling (ETCCS) project for the GO Transit expansion programme that will deliver USD 9 billion in capital projects and USD 4.67 billion in state-of-good-repair works. Parsons will provide various services, including design, procurement support, system engineering, system integration and migration management, testing, and commissioning services.
Metrolinx’s 10-year programme will transform the GO Transit rail network with electrified trains running every 15 minutes or better, all day and in both directions, within the most heavily travelled sections of the GO network across Ontario’s Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).
The GO Transit network spans more than 4,000 km2 and carries 200,000 commuters each day through more than 40 municipalities. As part of the GO expansion component of Metrolinx’s Regional Transportation Plan, Metrolinx plans to modernize southern Ontario’s GO Train system by adding stations, increasing system capacity, introducing 25-kV electrification, replacing its diesel locomotives with electrified locomotives, immunizing its existing fixed-block signalling system to the 25-kV traction power supply system, and deploying Enhanced Train Control (ETC) on the GO corridor and its train fleet.
