History
The ART was formerly known as the Agence métropolitaine de transport, which was founded in 1996. The new agency, which has the mandate to plan and integrate public transit in Greater Montreal, was created, along with the Réseau des transports métropolitains, its operating branch, following the disbanding of the AMT.
Organization
The ART will consist of six appointed chair members from the Greater Montreal and six transit experts appointed by Transports Québec, the provincial transportation authority.
