Public Consultation

What’s next?

Another round of consultation will take place in fall 2026 as part as continued efforts to continue the conversation with Canadians, based on a narrower corridor for the central segment (Ottawa-Montréal). 

 

Consultations will follow subsequently for the  western (Toronto–Ottawa), and eastern (Montréal–Québec City), segments in early 2027.

 

Consultation and engagement will continue as the project advances, ensuring that perspectives gathered help shape the next phases of planning, design, construction and long-term operations.

What is a Public Consultation?

A public consultation is a unique opportunity for Canadians to learn about the project, ask questions, and share their ideas. It provides a space for dialogue between communities and decision-makers, where local perspectives, concerns, and priorities can be considered before final decisions are made.

As part of the Alto project, this process helps inform the analysis of the proposed corridor, supports its seamless integration into communities, and strengthens mitigation measures, including those for the environment.

Why Participate in Public Consultations?

Your participation is essential to building a project that truly reflects the needs and expectations of the communities served. By taking part in the public consultation process, you will: 

  • Discover the Alto project’s vision
  • Contribute to one of the largest transportation projects in Canadian history
  • Provide your feedback to inform ongoing analysis
  • Raise awareness of opportunities for your community 

A social project such as Alto is built together with communities. Every voice counts in shaping a network that will bring cities closer together and create economic opportunities for all. 

Alto is committed to engaging in open and inclusive dialogue, where listening is as important as informing. This is an important step in the regulatory process leading to the project’s fulfillment.
