Protrans Bc

PROTRANS BC is the private operator of the Canada Line, a 19-km automated rail-based rapid transit system connecting Downtown Vancouver with central Richmond and the Vancouver International Airport. Located in Richmond, we are a part of the PROTRANS family of SNC-Lavalin O&M, a global solutions provider to facility and asset operations. The Canada Line is a prime example, where SNC-Lavalin designed and constructed a rapid transit system, and is one of the largest Public-Private Partnership (P3) in Canadian history. Under a 31-year operations and maintenance contract, PROTRANS BC operates and maintains the award-winning Canada Line. A fleet of 20 trains provide a 26-minute terminus-to-terminus service to an average weekday ridership of more than passengers across 16 stations. As part of the SNC-Lavalin Inc, SNC-Lavalin O&M, along with the other SNC-Lavalin divisions – ranging from Agrifood to Mass Transit, to Risk Engineering and Insurance – we are able to provide end-to-end complete solutions for our clients. The Canada Line is a prime example, where SNC-Lavalin designed and constructed the rapid transit system, and will continue to operate and maintain it as part of the Public-Private Partnership (P3) Concession Agreement. Our sister operation, PROTRANS WRB, located in Kelowna, British Columbia, is the operator and maintenance provider for the William R. Bennett Bridge, which spans Okanagan Lake.
