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
THREE-YEAR CAPITAL EXPENDITURE PROGRAM
2007–2008–2009: $848.2 MILLION
Authorized projects: $389.9 million (including
$129.3 million for the metro extension to Laval)
Projects under study for authorization:
$458.3 million
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.
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
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
metropolitan transit system (metropolitan express buses, park-and-ride
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.

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

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
15.0 million trips
5 lines
50 stations
39 park-and-ride lots
14,505 parking spaces
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
maintain its assets and increase its services to meet the growing demand and
ensure the long-term viability of the system. An investment of approximately
$615.4 million is needed to maintain and develop the system in the next few
years.
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

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
2 METROPOLITAN EXPRESS BUSES
Equipment
The metropolitan terminuses are transfer points where passengers can change
from a local bus line to a metropolitan line, or switch modes efficiently and
transfer to the metro or a commuter train.
29 RESERVED LANES
83.4 km
Park-and-ride lots are exclusively reserved for public transit customers, who
can leave their cars there, usually free of charge, and continue their travel by
public transit.

Renovation of stationary equipment (Réno-Systèmes – Phase I)
Nearly half of Montréal’s metro network has been in service for 40 years,
whereas the remainder, consisting of extensions, has been in service for
anywhere between 14 and 26 years. Certain stationary equipment in the
metro has reached the end of its service life. Thanks to the Réno-Systèmes
program, this stationary operating equipment, found mainly on the original
network, is gradually being replaced or reconditioned. This equipment
includes motorized installations (escalators, ventilation systems, pumps,
etc.), tracks, operating power and train control equipment, as well as control
room and telecommunications systems.
The AMT contributes to the Réno-Systèmes – Phase I program managed by the
STM. In this $311.0-million project, the AMT’s financial commitment stands
at $38.9 million (12.5%), the government of Québec’s at $130.2 million

AMT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2006
Safety
AND SECURITY
With the new Safety and Security department created in 2006, these functions have been brought together within a
single group, which makes it easier to manage emergencies. Thus, the AMT is ensuring leadership in this regard,
together with its partners and with regional, provincial, national and international organizations. This structure has
also made it possible to develop a complete and coherent safety and security plan.
Safety and Security’s mission
This group’s mission is to ensure that the AMT’s users, employees,
equipment and operations are safe in all circumstances. It also has the
mission of applying regulations related to the code of conduct and fares
throughout the system.
Safety plan for public transit
In 2006, the AMT received funding from the Canadian government under
the Transit-Secure program. The applications for funding concerned risk
assessment and the safety plan, communication, monitoring and access
control, and prevention and intervention.
THE THREE KEY POINTS
• Increase users’ feelings of security
• Develop and maintain a partnership
• Enhance the quality of services
in metropolitan public transit
Improving security
The AMT’s facilities (stations, parking lots, terminuses) are subject to
measures to ensure the security of persons and property. With its cameras,
car patrols, and inspectors in trains and other equipment, the AMT’s
Operations and Monitoring Centre ensures the security of customers and
their property.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2006 AMT

Promotion
AND COMMUNICATION
Since the transportation sector generates 47% of the greenhouse gas emissions in the metropolitan Montréal area,
the AMT’s goal is to persuade the public of the benefits of moderate car use.
TOOLS USED
Promotional campaigns for public transit
International “In town, without my car!” day
Reflection process
on sustainable development
Customer loyalty
To encourage citizens to change their travel habits, while consolidating the
services it offers, the AMT is actively working to persuade them that modes
of transportation other than the daily use of a single-occupancy vehicle
(SOV) really do exist: effective and economical options that will enable the
Montréal area to protect its quality of city life, its economic vitality and a
healthy environment.
Since 2000, the AMT has also been developing the allégo program, which
involves encouraging employees to use other means of travel than SOVs; it
assists companies and organizations that would like to implement this
program.
2006 ACHIEVEMENTS
• Presentation of the fourth edition of “In town, without my car!” day
• Continuation of the allégo initiative
• Creation of a customer loyalty program
• Raising awareness among elected officials
• 11 excursions by train for the general public and 6 children’s excursions

Metropolitan
TRANSIT SYSTEM
The metropolitan fare system governs inter-system fare-setting for public transit services in the
Montréal region by bus, train and metro, which are provided by 14 organizations. The TRAM monthly pass,
which allows users to travel on all systems, also gives customers a discount of 15% to 25% compared to
the purchase of several passes.
The metropolitan fare system is based on fares that increase with
distance according to eight concentric zones around downtown
Montréal. Zones 1 and 2 are located inside Montréal. Zone 3 covers
part of Montréal, plus Laval and Longueuil. Zones 4 to 8 cover the
territory of the northern and southern off-island suburbs.
TRAM PASS
The TRAM is the integrated monthly transit pass, which gives users
access to the commuter train, bus and metro systems.
HARMONIZATION OF FARE CONDITIONS
Spurred on by the upcoming modernization of equipment to sell tickets
and passes and collect fares across the metropolitan area, the AMT is
coordinating a major effort to harmonize fare conditions that is
under way in the region, in particular the harmonization of local and
metropolitan fare zones and the standardization and simplification of
certain fare structures.
AT A GLANCE
3 modes of transportation
(metro, train, bus)
8 fare zones
14 transit organizations
94 municipalities, including 8 outside
the territory
11 metropolitan ticket offices
400 points of sale across the territory
TRAM PASSES IN 2006
Sales of TRAM passes amounted to $91.4 million, for revenue
growth of 8.4%, plus an additional $7.1 million redistributed to
the regional transit organizations.
