The STL selects partners to build facilities adapted for fully electric buses

The STL expansion project has passed a significant milestone. Following a rigorous call for tenders, the Société de transport de Laval has selected STGM and Sid Lee Architecture to design the plans for its future expansion.
These two partnering firms were tasked with devising a future expansion that focuses on the innovative spirit of the STL. During and after the expansion, the STL must deliver service that meets the quality commitment made to its users, while respecting the values it shares with its employees.
Groupe CT4, an engineering group constituted by Bouthillette Prizeau, SNC-Lavalin, SYSTRA and Équipe Laurence, will develop the construction plans and specifications for the upcoming buildings.
“We joined the global electrification movement as early as 2012. The announcement of these new partnerships marks the beginning of a collaboration that, ultimately, will transform our company and ensure that we can charge and operate more electric buses starting in 2025,” says Eric Morasse, Chair of the Board of the STL.

The project

As part of its transformation to continue the fight against climate change, the STL has set the goal of operating only fully electric buses as of 2040. Furthermore, it must contend with the projected increase in ridership by adding buses to its fleet.

  • The STL will increase its space by 50% by adding another 19,000 m2

  • One hundred and forty-five parking spaces are planned to accommodate electric buses

  • As of 2025, the STL plans to purchase only fully electric buses
