PRESTO Fare Card
Infrastructure
Project Overview
The PRESTO Fare Card Infrastructure program covered civil works supporting the installation of fare collection equipment across the TTC network. Four Seasons delivered the program for Metrolinx and the TTC between 2015 and 2017 as prime contractor.
The PRESTO Fare Card system extended electronic fare collection to the TTC network through a phased installation program covering multiple sites concurrently. Four Seasons delivered the civil works supporting the equipment installation as prime contractor between 2015 and 2017.
The contract administration framework required continuous coordination with both Metrolinx and the TTC. Field staging was adjusted continuously to accommodate transit operations and public ridership throughout the construction period.
In November 2015 the program scope tripled relative to the originally contracted volume and the schedule was compressed by twenty-five percent. The work was completed within the revised parameters through expanded crew deployment, resource flexibility, and continuous coordination with the client teams.
The contract closed in 2017 within the agreed contract administration framework.
Key Aspects of the Work
Network-Wide Scope
Civil works across the TTC network supporting fare collection equipment installation at multiple sites concurrently. Coordinated logistics across the program required continuous resource management.
Active Transit Operations
Work proceeded in coordination with continuous TTC operations and public ridership. Field staging was adjusted continuously to accommodate transit service throughout the construction period.
Scaled Delivery
In November 2015 the program scope tripled and the schedule compressed by twenty-five percent. The work was completed within the revised parameters through expanded crew deployment and resource flexibility.
Multi-Party Coordination
Continuous coordination with both Metrolinx and TTC operations across the program. Submittal management, schedule integration, and quality documentation handled through both clients' frameworks.
