Vimont station (French pronunciation: [vimɔ̃]) is a commuter rail station operated by Exo in Laval, Quebec, Canada. It is served by the Saint-Jérôme line.
The station is in ARTM fare zone B,[2] and currently has 200 parking spaces. Prior to the reform of the ARTM's fare structure in July 2022, it was in zone 3.[1]
History
[edit]CP Service
[edit]There was previously a Canadian Pacific Railway station called "Petite-Cote" at this location.
AMT Service
[edit]The station was opened on October 18, 2006, by the former Agence Métropolitaine de Transport (AMT) following growing demand for service following the collapse of the De la Concorde overpass in Laval. The station has since become a permanent stop on the line. Between 2011 and 2013, the double track was extended north through the station, requiring the construction of a second side platform.[4]
RTM service
[edit]On June 1, 2017, the AMT was dissolved and replaced by two new governing bodies, the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM) and the Réseau de transport métropolitain (RTM). The RTM took over all former AMT services, including service at this station.
