TramCité
TramCité
The Government of Québec, Ville de Québec and CDPQ Infra have launched the planning phase for the TramCité project, a new 19-km modern tramway system. It will become the backbone of mobility in the Québec City region and will connect easily and efficiently to other modes of transportation. High-frequency service and comfortable cars will improve the quality of public transit throughout the city.

The tramway will optimize travel flow and shorten travel times for public transit passengers.
In addition, TramCité is a unique opportunity for the greater Québec City area to meet the following objectives:
- Accelerate real estate development
- Boost productivity and employment
- Generate major economic benefits
Many cities around the world have successfully implemented a modern tramway system. TramCité will seamlessly become part of the fabric of each community it serves.
