LRV procurement
The Green Line LRT will run low floor light rail vehicles (LRVs) as they offer a sleek modern design and enhanced benefits including improved accessibility, increased capacity per train, enhanced safety and a smaller footprint for station structure than the existing high floor system used on the Red and Blue Lines. The City will procure an LRV supplier to design, test, supply, deliver and commission 28 low floor LRVs and provide support services to keep the LRVs operational for the Green Line LRT.

Status:
In November 2021, following a robust competitive procurement process, CAF (Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles) was awarded the contract to supply Green Line’s new fleet of low floor LRVs. The procurement process, which began in February 2019, was overseen by a third-party fairness monitor throughout the RFQ and RFP process.
CAF’s proposal met all of the City’s technical and commercial requirements. The Urbos 100 LRVs offer modern low-floor technology adding excellent value for Calgarians. This new fleet will provide Calgary with a world-class transit option.
