PREDICTIV AI AWARDED METROLINX MASTER AGREEMENT FOR ON-DEMAND TRANSIT SOFTWARE AND RELATED SERVICES

Predictiv AI Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Shift Technologies Canada Inc., has entered into an executed master agreement with Metrolinx, an Ontario Crown agency, following a competitive procurement process for the supply and delivery of on-demand transit software and related services. The agreement took effect Oct. 26, 2026, for an initial one-year term, with four additional one-year extension options, subject to its terms.

Metrolinx is an agency of the government of Ontario. Through its Transit Procurement Initiative (TPI) program, it serves as the central procurement agency on behalf of Ontario municipalities for local transit vehicles, equipment and services.

Metrolinx's TPI program currently includes 43 active transit agency partners across Ontario, providing a broad procurement network for municipal transit solutions. The master agreement enables eligible transit agencies to access Shift's platform and related services through separate purchase agreements, creating opportunities for adoption across Ontario's public transit network.

Canadian technology for Canadian municipalities

The agreement creates an opportunity for Shift to expand its presence in Ontario's municipal transportation market through a common procurement framework. Shift intends to pursue potential software subscription, implementation and support opportunities with eligible transit agencies that elect to procure services under the framework. Any such opportunities are subject to the independent purchasing decisions of those agencies.

The company's objective is to help municipal transit operators deploy flexible, technology-enabled services suited to local community needs. For Predictiv AI, the agreement represents a platform for pursuing long-term municipal customer relationships and growing its Canadian public transit software business. The company's focus is on translating this procurement opportunity into deployments tailored to each purchasing agency's service requirements.

"This agreement represents an important milestone for Predictiv AI and our commitment to building Canadian technology for Canadian communities," said Suman Pushparajah, chief executive officer of Predictiv AI. "Public transportation is entering a new era where intelligent software, real-time data and more flexible service models can help municipalities respond to the needs of their residents. The master agreement provides a framework through which eligible Ontario transit agencies may elect to procure our technology. We look forward to pursuing those opportunities and continuing to develop our transportation software business."

Intelligent on-demand transit puts riders at the centre

On-demand transit allows riders to request trips through digital and assisted booking channels, while transit agencies co-ordinate vehicles, routes and pickups according to local operating requirements. Depending on the service model chosen by each agency, the technology can support accessible door-to-door trips, demand-responsive service areas, fixed-route operations and first-mile/last-mile connections to wider transit networks. Digital and assisted booking options are intended to help agencies serve riders with different accessibility and technology needs.

Shift's cloud-based platform is designed to support passenger booking, automated dispatch, dynamic route optimization, operator applications, real-time fleet visibility, operational reporting and related implementation, training, and technical support. By linking rider demand with routing and operational data, the platform is intended to help transit teams adapt services to changing community needs. These capabilities are designed to help agencies align vehicles and routes with passenger demand while giving operators clearer information to manage day-to-day service.

"Every municipality has different transportation needs, from accessible door-to-door service to connecting smaller communities with larger transit networks," said Sana Srithas, chief operating officer of Predictiv AI. "Our approach is to give transit operators a flexible platform that can be configured around their specific needs while providing the visibility, tools and operational support required to deliver reliable service."

Building for the next era of transportation

Across Ontario, transit providers are exploring flexible shared transportation models that complement scheduled bus and rail connections. Predictiv AI intends to build on Shift's fleet and dispatch expertise to help agencies manage changing passenger demand and improve operational visibility.

The Metrolinx agreement provides a foundation for potential long-term municipal customer relationships and recurring software and support revenue, while allowing each participating agency to select services suited to local needs.
