PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION A Priority for Technoparc Montréal Sustainable development is an integral part of Technoparc Montréal’s (TM) business development. One of its concrete objectives is to improve access to efficient public transportation for TM employees in order to progressively reduce the predominant use of “solo cars”. BUS SERVICES No. 72 buses, which link Technoparc Montréal’s Campus Saint-Laurent to the Côte-Vertu Metro line and to the Fairview bus terminal, stop every 7 to 20 minutes during rush hour and at least every 30 minutes during the day. •Bus #72 has seen one of the greatest increases in traffic (400 %) of the Société de transport de Montréal (STM)’s public transportation network between 2006 and 2010. •During spring 2010, the average number of trips per day was 1545 compared to 566 during spring 2008. In april 2012, four express bus lines are added in the West Island. GROUP TAXIS In partnership with the STM, Technoparc Montréal also provides group taxis during rush hour that link the Technoparc to the Sunnybrooke train station. To use this service, employees must reserve a taxi at least one hour in advance at 514-637-4444 and present a valid transportation ticket to the driver. CAR POOLING In June 2010, Technoparc Montréal also set up a free car pooling site for all 5500 employees of resident companies TRANSPORTATION COMMITEE Technoparc Montréal’s Transportation Committee ensures that the expectations of employees are met in the areas of public and alternative transportation. The Committee is made up of one representative per resident company. With the number of employees continuing to rise, bus schedules are regularly assessed to meet emerging needs www.technoparc.com
