OC Explained: Service Changes

Come behind the scenes to understand our service change process.

Community-centric approach: Managing project impacts and mitigation

O-Train Extension

As we extend lines and build new stations, we're minimizing noise and disturbances with strict measures. We use noise and vibration monitors, limit nighttime work, and control dust.

Community well-being is our priority throughout this extension project!
