  • ‘Disney Laval’
    A few days after officials with the city and the STL had gathered at city hall to announce to the media that Laval was exploring the possibility of building at least one aerial tramway line, an irreverent amateur editorial artist sent out a mass e-mail with an attached graphic lampooning “Disney Laval,” depicting several members of the Vaillancourt administration aboard a roller coaster ride.

  • The Société de transport de Laval is commissioning a feasibility study to determine whether it would be practical to put an aerial tramway into service in Laval. The City of Laval, the Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT) and Hydro Quebec all support the effort.

  • Since Nov. 5, the Société de Transport de Laval’s regular network of buses has become more accessible to persons who get around in wheelchairs and on three-and four-wheel electric scooters, thanks to some new access ramps.

  • In a report to be made public Tuesday, the board compiled gas prices in 52 cities around the province for a full year and calculated whether a price cap would have generated savings for motorists.

  • The Société de Transport de Laval entered a new phase in its pursuit of environmental sustainability earlier this week, with the launch of an experimental car sharing service that will be making one of North America’s first mass marketed hybrid-electric vehicles, the Chevrolet Volt, accessible over the coming months to a few select residents.

  • A plan by Laval’s main transit authority, the Société de Transport de Laval, to acquire its first all-electric bus in anticipation of electrifying the entire fleet, is being defended by Mayor Gilles Vaillancourt, while some critics are questioning the deal.

  • CNW Telbec/ - Jean-Jacques Beldié, Chairman of the Board of the Société de transport de Laval (STL), is very pleased to note that since last February, ridership has been up, peaking at nearly 5% in June.

  • Sainte-Dorothée is one of three Laval districts that have been chosen to take part in a car-sharing pilot project involving one of the world’s first mass-marketed all-electric consumer vehicles – the Chevrolet Volt.

  • The 850 property owners in Laval’s Val-des-Brises sector are sure to welcome an announcement by the city that an extension of Robert Bourassa Boulevard will allow them to start using this route starting this fall.

  • (CNW Telbec)  The Smog Alert issued on June 8th is now over. According to Environment Canada's data, the air quality is now within acceptable standards.
