Montreal 2050 Public Transport Network Vision

Vision 2050 of the structuring public transport network outlines the planned network for Montreal by 2050, including new commuter rail and REM stations to be built before 2040. The data is presented in map 1-3 of the 2050 Urban and Mobility Plan (PUM) and can be consulted via an interactive ArcGIS map. In case of discrepancy, the official PUM mapping takes precedence.

Use Cases

• Analyze the planned spatial distribution of new commuter rail and REM stations from the PUM map for infrastructure investment modeling.
• Use the network vision data to model future transit accessibility and service equity across the Montreal territory.
• Integrate the structured network data with environmental and mobility targets for metropolitan policy scenario planning.

Strengths

• Data originates from the official 2050 Urban and Mobility Plan (PUM) of the City of Montreal.
• Includes planned interventions for both a 2050 vision and specific pre-2040 station construction.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (SHP, GEOJSON) for GIS analysis.

Limitations

• Data represents a future vision and plan, not actual implemented infrastructure or current operations.
• Planned interventions require further feasibility studies and government approval, introducing uncertainty.
• No quantitative attributes (e.g., row count, column details) are provided in the metadata.
