The establishment of two REM stations in Pointe-Claire will help transform our downtown area in accordance with sustainable development focused on active and public transportation as well as a mix of uses, whether residential, commercial, business, or industrial.

The real estate projects that will be developed there will meet the new housing needs of young people, families, and seniors, while adding local shops, business and workspaces.

The City must collaborate with the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM), the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), and the agglomeration of Montreal, so that urban, road, and active and public transport developments promote easy, safe, and harmonious access for everyone to the two new stations.

The financing of the REM is partly linked to a new transport levy imposed by the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM) within a one-kilometer radius around the two stations planned on the territory of the City of Pointe-Claire.

The transport levy is collected when permits are issued by the City and fully remitted to the CDPQ, promoter of the REM. The financing target is $600 million or 50 years.

The levy has been payable since May 1^st, 2018, upon the issuance of the permit.
