DESCRIPTION

The government authority in Ontario is seeking information from operators capable of providing fixed route transit services. The selected operator must maintain a formal incident management framework with clear protocols for reporting, documenting, and investigating route cancellations, service disruptions, collisions, near misses, passenger injuries, and severe weather events.

The service area presents operational challenges that include travel on high-speed provincial highways and severe winter weather. Each vehicle must include at least two forward-facing, dedicated wheelchair positions equipped with four-point heavy-duty tie-down securement systems and three-point occupant restraint belts. Buses should also include designated, standardized areas on both street-side and curbside panels for temporary commercial advertisements.

All questions regarding the request for information must be submitted no later than August 26, 2026.
