TORONTO, ON (August 6, 2021) – IBI Group (TSX:IBG) has been selected by the City of Toronto to operate the Road Emergency Services Communications Unit (RESCU) Traffic Operations Centre (TOC) for a period of up to five years. In addition to operations, the firm will provide professional services and traffic management solutions, enhancing the management of the street and highway traffic networks throughout one of North America’s largest cities. IBI will leverage its extensive experience in traffic management, alongside its smart city product offerings — including its CurbIQ™ and Travel-IQ™ solutions — to address Toronto’s multimodal transportation landscape; supporting improved road safety and the efficient movement of goods and people across the city.

IBI Group’s expertise in the management of city operations and urban software systems will combine to assist the City of Toronto in achieving enhanced data analytics and increased operational efficiency, leading to improved traffic management. The firm will leverage its suite of smart city products to automate the process of monitoring and managing high-volume highways and urban arterial roadways to support the City in addressing recurring commuter congestion.

As part of the contract, the City will have the opportunity to employ IBI’s Travel-IQ solution to provide real-time traffic and incident data to travellers.
