What happened
Alstom was recently selected for the Toronto Transit Commission's New Subway Trains program. The company is also expanding its Canadian supplier network, which is supported by recent major contracts, including the TTC program and Via Rail’s Fleet renewal. Alstom launched a dedicated registration portal allowing Indigenous-owned businesses to present their capabilities directly to its procurement team.
