A new contract between the Jenoptik subsidiary Traffipax LLC and the City of Toronto, Ontario, will continue 10 years of successful cooperation from 2017 onward. The contract will run for a period of five years starting on Jan. 1, 2017 and includes an optional extension for another five years. Negotiations will be started soon with seven other municipalities in Canada’s ontario province, Jenoptik said.
