Group association Association du transport urbain au Québec (ATUQ).

The ATUQ represents the interests of its members, the nine major transit companies, when it comes to promoting public transportation vis-à-vis the public, partners and government authorities.

OMIT is an association of organizations that provide public transportation in cities. It does not have the authority to operate a public transportation network. Only an organization holding a permit from the Commission des transports du Québec can do so.

CITs provide transit service throughout Greater Montréal, so that residents of the suburbs can get to town easily for their educational, professional, recreational or medical needs. 

There is one CRT, in Lanaudière. It covers several RCMs to provide better public transportation for all the region’s residents. 

Its mission is to increase public transportation services so that people can move around the Greater Montréal region easily. In doing so it contributes actively to preserving the environment and the quality of city life. 

In June 2006 the ministère des Transports du Québec announced an ambitious policy for greater development of public transportation in the province. It seeks to increase public transportation ridership by 8% by 2012. There are many features to the policy, which you can find at: http://www.mtq.gouv.qc.ca/portal/page/portal/grand_public/transport_collectif/politique_Québecoise_transport_collectif
