Siemens Mobility awarded rail maintenance contract for Metrolinx’s region west of Toronto

Metrolinx has selected Siemens Mobility to provide track, signal and right-of-way maintenance services for the agency’s railway infrastructure system that makes up the west region of Toronto. Siemens Mobility’s suite of digital tools and software will complement the knowledge and expertise their teams possess with the intelligent use of rail data to provide Metrolinx with superior service 24/7, 365 days a year.

“We are excited to continue our partnership with Metrolinx, helping them keep their systems running safely and efficiently as they transport millions of passengers every year. Our world-class maintenance know-how will help Metrolinx attain the next level of system availability and operational excellence,” said Yves Desjardins-Siciliano, CEO of Siemens Mobility in Canada. “The importance of keeping our rail systems running safely and seamlessly continues to be of the utmost importance for transportation operators – now and into the future.”

Currently, Siemens Mobility provides various services and products to Metrolinx, including signal and communications back-office support and fault control services at Metrolinx’s Network Operations Center (NOC) in Oakville, Ontario. The new maintenance service contract will further strengthen Siemens Mobility’s ongoing relationship with Metrolinx while increasing the organization’s footprint in the greater Toronto area. The contract further grows Siemens Mobility’s local Canadian footprint and expand its current team across Ontario as apart of Siemens overall footprint in Canada, which includes 33 sites with more than 2,900 employees. The team will work closely with Metrolinx to mobilize resources, including vehicles and large equipment for start-up of services during the spring of 2023.
