- Design, supply, operate, and maintain the fleet of autonomous, electrically powered trains;
- Design, build, operate, and maintain all track and communications (e.g. network, Wi-Fi, CCTV, passenger information), and train control systems for the Ontario Line; and
- Design, build, operate, and maintain the maintenance and storage facility (where vehicles are stored) and the operations control centre (where staff control train operations).
The RSSOM contract's construction is expected to start in 2023 and end in 2031.
