OTTAWA'S NON-FUNCTIONING LRT GETS SUPERVISORY UPLIFT

 On the 31st consecutive full day without Light Rail Transit (LRT)  service, Ottawa’s transit commission heard that supervision of the maintenance regime could use an “uplift,” two years after the Confederation Line launched.

Commissioners and councillors wanted to know why the maintenance regime was so inadequate, only to hear from RTM that the LRT maintenance program will improve.

Train builder and maintainer Alstom will “uplift competencies of the leadership and supervision teams” in Ottawa, according to city staff.

Alstom will also “improve process and tools” for maintenance and “strive to regain a professional and productive work environment by injecting fresh, qualified resources,” transit operations director Troy Charter told commissioners.
