The work involves design and construction of the infrastructure, followed by 25 years of operation and maintenance.
A second team, EnTransit, has been chosen as the second negotiations proponent.
The shortlist had been announced in 2019.
Metrolinx and IO are now beginning negotiations with ONxpress Transportation Partners to confirm the technical and financial details proposed in the bid.
If the negotiations process reaches a successful outcome in the coming weeks, the next step will be the confirmation of commercial close, at which time the development phase will begin.
