KEOLIS CANADA, A CANADIAN PIONEER IN MULTIMODALITY

In only a few decades, major developments have transformed our ways of life and each territory has its own mobility issues.

With the support of a global group, Keolis Canada has a broad-based vision of urban and intercity mobility for today and in the future. With Keoscopie, the mobility observatory of Keolis, since 2007 the Keolis Group has had a unique tool for decrypting socio-demographic changes and their consequences on urban and intercity mobility. Because digital technology has accelerated this transformation, Keolis, in partnership with Netexplo, launched the first international observatory of digital trends in 2015 to imagine mobility in the future. In the context of a conference presented in Montreal during the 52^nd Congrès et Salon des transports by the Association québécoise des transports (AQTr), Keolis Canada unveiled the initial results of Netexplo in April 2017, in the form of a global portrait highlighting the experience of 13 smart cities throughout the world to determine what constitutes a successful trip. This evaluation identified some preliminary findings particularly about urban mobility in the city of Montréal that were presented during the AQTr Congress.

In 2016, Keolis Canada also introduced an unprecedented multimodal transportation service in Canada through an agreement between Orléans Express, its intercity division in Québec, and Téo Taxi (Taxelco), a taxi service in Montreal with an electric fleet. By combining two methods of transportation, Orléans Express and Téo Taxi offer travellers a smooth and efficient service to their final destination, while helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the Montreal region.
