The '''Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain''' (ARTM; {{lang-en|Metropolitan Regional Transportation Authority}}) is an [[umbrella organization]] that manages and integrates [[road transport]] and [[public transport]] in [[Greater Montreal]] in [[Quebec]], [[Canada]]. The organization was created by the [[Government of Quebec]] on June 1, 2017, replacing the former planning mandate of the [[Agence métropolitaine de transport]] (AMT).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/new-montreal-transit-boss-wants-a-system-that-is-more-user-friendly|title=New Montreal transit boss wants a system that is more user-friendly}}</ref> It has assumed other key initiatives including [[Opus card]] operation and multiple other projects supporting transit. |

==History== |
||
In 2017, the AMT was dissolved and replaced by two newly created organizations, the ARTM and the [[Réseau de transport métropolitain]] (RTM). Its planning mandate went to the ARTM while the operation of the various [[commuter rail]] lines across the Greater Montreal became the responsibility of the RTM. Also known as Exo, the latter also acquired oversight of the public transport agencies of [[Société de transport de Montréal|Montreal]], [[Société de transport de Laval|Laval]], and [[Réseau de transport de Longueuil|Longueuil]].<ref name = AMT-abolie>{{Cite web|url=http://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelles/politique/2015/04/24/005-agence-metropolitaine-transport-amt-abolie.shtml|title = L'Agence métropolitaine de transport sera abolie}}</ref> |
|||
The ARTM was formerly known as the Agence métropolitaine de transport, which was founded in 1996. The new agency, which has the mandate to plan and integrate public transit in [[Greater Montreal]], was created, along with [[Exo (public transit)]], its operating branch, following the disbanding of the AMT. |

In addition, the agency also organizes [[carpooling]], offering unloading spaces near public transit services in several of its park-and-ride lots, which allow for transfers to the bus, Metro or commuter train.<ref>[http://www.amt.qc.ca/content_simple.aspx?id=422&LangType=1033 AMT - Carpooling] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131215151731/http://www.amt.qc.ca/content_simple.aspx?id=422&LangType=1033 |date=2013-12-15 }}</ref> |

The ARTM is undertaking several major projects: |
|||
The ARTM has focus on several transit projects for the next ten years. The agency will submit a new ten year Transit Expansion plan to the Quebec Government in the Fall of 2018. |
|||
* Metro extensions: Extending the [[Blue Line (Montreal Metro)|Blue Line]] by five stations to [[Anjou, Quebec|Anjou]]. The extension is slated to open in 2030<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.stm.info/en/about/major_projects/major-metro-projects/blue-line-extension#id_premiere | title=Blue line extension }}</ref> |
|||
* Extending the [[Pie-IX BRT]] system to [[Notre-Dame Street]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.masstransitmag.com/bus/infrastructure/press-release/53071387/societe-de-transport-de-montreal-stm-work-begins-on-first-phase-to-extend-stm-pieix-brt | title=Work begins on first phase to extend STM Pie-IX BRT | date=6 September 2023 }}</ref> The extension is due to open in 2027. |
|||
* Metro extensions: Extending the [[Orange Line (Montreal Metro)|Orange]], [[Yellow Line (Montreal Metro)|Yellow]] and [[Blue Line (Montreal Metro)|Blue line]]s. A project office is currently studying extensions of the Blue line to the Montréal boroughs of [[Saint-Léonard, Quebec|Saint-Leonard]] and [[Anjou, Quebec|Anjou]], the Orange line to the suburb of [[Laval, Quebec|Laval]], passing through the Montréal borough of [[Saint-Laurent, Quebec|Saint-Laurent]], and the Yellow line farther into [[Longueuil]]. |
|||
* Study a major transit solution for the Grand Sud-Ouest area in Montreal. The project could possibly consist of a new light rail line or an extension of the [[Green Line (Montreal Metro)|Green Line]] into [[LaSalle, Quebec|LaSalle]], [[Lachine, Quebec|Lachine]] and [[Dorval, Quebec|Dorval]].<ref>https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/public-transit-light-rail-lachine-dorval-1.7084309</ref> |
|||
* Electrification of its commuter rail lines. Currently, only the [[Deux-Montagnes line]] runs on electricity. |
|||
* Study a major transit solution to replace the cancelled [[REM de l'Est]] project, named PSE. In January 2023, it was revealed that the ARTM was planning on proposing a 21-kilometre light rail line consisting of 22 stations, at a cost of $10.4 billion.<ref>https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/montreal-eastern-train-rem-1.7110791</ref> |
|||
* A [[Montreal bus rapid transit|bus rapid transit]] (BRT) system on [[Pie-IX Boulevard]]. The BRT will include two dedicated [[bus lane]]s in the middle of Pie-IX Boulevard from Laval to Montréal and include 21 stations and three park-and-ride lots. |
|||
* Build maintenance centres in [[Lachine, Quebec|Lachine]] and [[Pointe-Saint-Charles]]. The two sites will allow the RTM to maintain and store (between peak hours) its train cars and locomotives. The Lachine site will accommodate rolling stock running on Canadian Pacific tracks and the Pointe-Saint-Charles site will accommodate trains running on Canadian National tracks, as well as cars for the [[Réseau express métropolitain]] network. |
|||
* Increasing frequency on other commuter rail lines by the way of investments. |

The Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM; English: Metropolitan Regional Transportation Authority) is an umbrella organization that manages and integrates road transport and public transportinGreater MontrealinQuebec, Canada. The organization was created by the Government of Quebec on June 1, 2017, replacing the former planning mandate of the Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT).[1] It has assumed other key initiatives including Opus card operation and multiple other projects supporting transit.
In 2017, the AMT was dissolved and replaced by two newly created organizations, the ARTM and the Réseau de transport métropolitain (RTM). Its planning mandate went to the ARTM while the operation of the various commuter rail lines across the Greater Montreal became the responsibility of the RTM. Also known as Exo, the latter also acquired oversight of the public transport agencies of Montreal, Laval, and Longueuil.[2]
The ARTM consists of six appointed chair members from the Montreal Metropolitan Community council and six transit experts appointed by Transports Québec, the provincial transportation authority.[2]
The ARTM also is responsible for all Park and ride lots in the Greater Montreal region. It runs 61 park-and-ride lots,[3] many that are connected to either metropolitan bus terminuses, STM Metro stations, or Exo commuter rail stations.
In addition, the agency also organizes carpooling, offering unloading spaces near public transit services in several of its park-and-ride lots, which allow for transfers to the bus, Metro or commuter train.[4]
