OC Transpo is giving Ottawa residents an inside look at our Simulator Facility and the ongoing construction for Stage 2 at Greenboro Station.
In late May, OC Transpo had the privilege of hosting a very special guest at our O-Train simulator.
As a child, Juanita Snelgrove grew up next to train tracks. After seeing trains pass by her home every day, she always dreamt of driving one.
She never gave up on that dream and at the age of 107, it finally came true.
On May 26, the Light Rail Sub-Committee received an update on the Stage 2 O-Train South Extension project and received a detailed report on the preparations for the public opening of the system.

Have you checked out our new Rack & Roll practice bike rack? It was first introduced at Hurdman Station last fall. Each month, the practice bike rack moves to a new location. This makes it easier for cyclists to try it out in their own area. Keep checking back to find out where you can try out the practice bike rack each month.
The practice rack is located at Tunney's Pasture Station on Scott Street to the right of the entrance.
