Overview
300 km/h speed
High-speed passenger rail
The passenger rail connects Toronto and Québec City, capable of reaching 300 km/h.
3.9B Design
Government-approved funding
Secured CA$3.9 billion for the design phase as part of a larger project.
368.3M Budget
Six-year financial backing
Allocated CA$368.3 million over six years from Budget 2024.
13× Ridership
Projected growth
Expects to achieve 13 times the current ridership levels.
Alto teams up with Cadence consortium—led by SNCF, Air Canada, Keolis, CDPQ Infra and others—to co-design, build and operate the corridor.
Typical projects include 300 km/h electrified track, modern accessible stations in seven cities, and integration with public and Indigenous consultations.
Construction expected post-Impact Assessment over multiple five-to-seven-year phases.
Decreases travel time by half: e.g., Toronto–Montreal reduced to ~3 hours and Toronto–Ottawa to ~2 hours.
Alto projects CA$38.4 billion in time savings, CA$7.2 billion in reduced emissions, and up to 51,000 construction jobs.
Delivered through a crown corporation combining public oversight with a private consortium.
