In December 2017, a few weeks after the November municipal elections, reelected Mayor Régis Labeaume said his election promise for a new transport system would after all take the form of a light rail system.
The current political context enables a great investment from provincial and federal governments in public transit, unlike the 2010 project.

In March 2018, the City, along with the Government of Quebec, announced the construction of a 23 km-long tramway line for $3 billion.
The line will link Charlesbourg to Cap-Rouge, passing through Quebec Parliament Hill.
There will be a 3.5 km tunnel in this part.
The service frequency will be 3 to 5 minutes in peak periods, 10 to 15 minutes during the day and weekend.
Passenger capacity will be 260 per tram.
The Quebec City tramway should be in service in 2026.
