BERLIN, GERMANY--(Marketwired - Oct 1, 2016) - Rail technology leader Bombardier
Transportation announced today that it has signed a new contract with the
Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) of Los Angeles, California
to provide eight years of maintenance services for SCRRA's Metrolink commuter
rail fleet. The contract is valued at approximately $23 million US ($30 million
CAD, 21 million euro) per year and is subject to adjustment based on any changes
to the current service plan. The agreement includes a single four-year option.
While the new contract will take effect on January 1, 2017, Bombardier has been
providing maintenance services for Metrolink under previous contracts since
1998. Among its responsibilities, Bombardier ensures the availability and
reliability of Metrolink's fleet of locomotives and passenger cars, including
BOMBARDIER BiLevel coaches. Bombardier's maintenance on-time performance average
over the past 12 months is 99.87 percent.
Metrolink is the third largest commuter rail agency in the United States based
on directional route miles and the eighth largest based on annual ridership,
serving Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Venture Counties.
Working together with Metrolink and its other partners, Bombardier contributes
to the improved mobility, cleaner air, and enhanced quality of life that public
transportation brings to this fast-growing, increasingly congested region.
"We are pleased to continue our long-term partnership with Metrolink," said
Benoit Brossoit, President, Bombardier Transportation, Americas Region, "and are
committed to continuously improving the rail services we provide for Metrolink
and our other customers that help them run their systems more safely,
efficiently and cost effectively."
Worldwide, Bombardier maintains more than 9,000 rail vehicles. In North America,
Bombardier provides maintenance and/or operations services to transit systems
including Agence Metropolitaine de Transport in Montreal, the Central Florida
