History
VIVA was designed and built as a Public-Private Partnership ("PPP"). The Region of York partnered with York Consortium, which comprises seven private sector firms with extensive international experience in transit design, architecture, construction and operations.
The agreement that was made between the public and private partners was that the Region of York established the fare policies and service requirements, owned the assets of the operations as well as the control of funds and revunue. The private partners hire the workers and assist the public partners with the funding and financing.
