History

edit

The former services of CIT des Basses Laurentides, CIT de Deux-Montagnes, OMIT de St-Eustache and OMIT de St-Jérôme were amalgamated in 2004 to form the new Conseil Intermunicipal de Transport Laurentides with expanded service to some areas.[3]

On June 1, 2017, a new law reorganizing public transit agencies in Greater Montreal abolished the CITs and established a new Réseau de transport métropolitain (RTM, later branded Exo), that, among other things, assumed the CITL's responsibilities, assets and employees.

On June 23, 2025, a first phase of a redesigned network was deployed for the northern part of the sector, with the rest of the redesigned network slated to be deployed later with the REM's opening.[4]
