The Gatineau LRT (Tramway Gatineau-Ottawa, or TramGO) is a planned 26 km (16 mi) light rail system proposed by the Ville de Gatineau to be located in Gatineau, Quebec as well as Ottawa, Ontario.[1] The system will be operated by Société de transport de l'Outaouais (STO), Gatineau's public transportation service. The system is planned to begin operation in 2032.[2][3] Preliminary estimates put the cost of the project at CA$2.1 billion, though this estimate does not include the Ottawa portion.[1] More recent estimates are upwards of $3.5 billion.[4] The Ville de Gatineau is looking to the Government of Quebec to fund 60 percent of the project and for the Canadian federal government to fund 40 percent of the project.[1]
