Abbotsford, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 5, 2025) - Gatekeeper Systems Inc. (TSXV: GSI) (OTC Pink: GKPRF) ("Gatekeeper" or the "Company"), a leader in intelligent video and data solutions for public transportation and smart cities, is pleased to announce the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has awarded Gatekeeper its Automated Streetcar Enforcement System (ASES) pilot contract.
ASES is a video-based evidence capture and automated ticketing solution for enforcement of motorists that fail to stop for streetcars when the passenger doors are open. Gatekeeper will deploy its proprietary AI-assisted video analytics for incident detection, license plate capture, and automated ticket processing. The ASES pilot contract is for initial deployment on four streetcars and is valued at approximately $460,000.
The TTC operates streetcar routes in mixed-traffic conditions and certain stops require passengers to cross traffic lanes to board streetcars. Motorists are required by law to stop behind a streetcar once its doors are open, and regulations now allow the use of video to monitor and automatically enforce traffic violations against streetcars.
"Safety is our top concern, and every day, we hear about dozens of instances of cars passing open streetcar doors in mixed traffic with no regard for the safety of our customers," said TTC CEO Greg Percy. "We look forward to working with Gatekeeper Systems to develop a new, industry-leading technological solution to address that."
"We are delighted to work with the TTC on this important initiative to improve passenger safety," said Doug Dyment, Gatekeeper's President and CEO. "Protecting people in transit is our corporate mission and we are very proud to add Canada's largest public transit system to our growing list of transit customers."
The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is a city agency that provides public transit services to approximately 1.7 million daily commuters in Toronto and from surrounding municipalities. The TTC's mandate is to establish, operate and maintain the local passenger transportation system in the city of Toronto, which is the largest public transit system in Canada and the third largest in North America.
