Quarterhill successfully delivers and receives full system acceptance for the US 290 toll road project and completion of CTRMA 183A Phase III.
The milestones mark a significant achievement, showcasing Quarterhill's expertise in deploying advanced toll collection systems and reinforcing its commitment to improving regional mobility with state-of-the-art technology solutions.
TORONTO, May 13, 2025 /CNW/ - Quarterhill Inc. ("Quarterhill" or the "Company") (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), a global leader in providing intelligent transportation system solutions, is proud to announce the successful completion and full system acceptance of the US 290 toll road project for the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority (CTRMA). This milestone achievement further cements Quarterhill's reputation as an innovator in the development of tolling technology.
In December 2021, Quarterhill was awarded the contract to deliver an advanced toll collection system for key segments of CTRMA's network, including US 290 and CTRMA 183A Phase III. Today, we are pleased to confirm that both initiatives have been completed to the full satisfaction of CTRMA, meeting all operational and technical requirements.
US 290 Expressway Project Highlights:
The US 290 toll road, a 6-mile corridor from US 183 to SH 130 in East Austin, has been upgraded to an expressway facility, significantly improving travel times for both tolled and non-toll lanes. This enhancement has tripled the existing roadway's capacity, enabling more efficient and safer travel across the region.
The integration of direct connectors at both US 183 and SH 130 promotes seamless vehicular movement, reduces congestion, and improves connectivity, benefiting countless commuters and contributing to economic growth in Williamson County and Northeast Travis County.
CTRMA 183A Phase III Highlights:
The completion of Phase III of the 183A toll supports CTRMA's infrastructure improvements that provide direct access between key points and improve the flow of traffic.
Collaboration with TxDOT and other stakeholders was pivotal in completing this project, underscoring Quarterhill's commitment to agency collaboration.
The toll systems on both roadways are fully automated, utilizing all-electronic tolling mechanisms that include options for electronic tags or Pay By Mail, aligning with modern tolling practices and ensuring a user-friendly experience for all motorists.
"We are thrilled with the successful launch and system acceptance at two of our projects, as part of our ongoing partnership with Quarterhill. This milestone not only demonstrates CTRMA's commitment to enhancing transportation infrastructure but also marks a significant step forward in utilizing advanced tolling technologies," said Greg Mack, Director of IT and Toll Systems at CTRMA. "We are confident that Quarterhill's innovative solutions will continue to improve the efficiency and reliability of our road networks, offering a superior travel experience for our community."
"We are pleased to have reached this significant milestone," said Chuck Myers, CEO of Quarterhill. "The successful delivery of these complex projects not only demonstrates our technical capabilities but also our dedication to collaboration that enhances transportation efficiency. We are proud to support CTRMA in their mission to provide innovative mobility solutions."
As these projects move from completion to operational phases, Quarterhill remains committed to supporting CTRMA with ongoing maintenance and technology advancements to ensure the highest levels of service and reliability.

Furthermore, the court ordered the relinquishment of any equity interest in the company or debt securities held by Zaziski. "The decision is a result of nearly a decade-long battle between the company and its former boss, and this decision now clears the way for the company to move forward with the development of its East African hydrocarbon project in Kenya," says Peter Deeb, Lead Director and Co-Founder of RIFT Energy. "To date, the company has invested more than $20 million in Kenya's Block L-19, resulting in what appears to be a sizeable oil and gas opportunity. The company plans to pursue a capital raise from its founders and institutional investors to move forward with a drilling program in short order." In 2014, Rift Energy completed a 2D Seismic Program that produced high-quality data. Numerous leads and prospects that correlate to Rift Energy's proprietary Aerial Gravity & Magnetic Survey and Geochemical Survey, both of which were completed during 2013.

CMHC releases new analysis of condo markets in Toronto and Vancouver Français

OTTAWA, ON, June 10, 2025 /CNW/ - Between 2022 and 2025, condominium apartment sales dropped by 75% and 37%, in Toronto and Vancouver Census Metropolitan Areas (CMA), respectively. Inventories more than doubled and prices fell. New analysis by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) looks at the driving factors behind this trend and risks to broader efforts to increase housing supply over the long term. While the growing inventories are leading to lower sale prices and asking rents for buyers and renters in the most expensive centres in the country, these factors also put downward pressure on new condo supply. Between 2022 and 2024, the number of cancelled units in Toronto and Vancouver increased five- and ten-fold, respectively. This presents a challenge for both the existing housing shortage and future supply growth.
