Consultation has concluded
The Transportation Modernization Act (TMA) introduced a new requirement for class 1 rail carriers to submit detailed waybill (rate) data, along with public service and performance information for their Canadian operations.
Transport Canada (TC) is launching a regulatory process to:
Amend the Transportation Information Regulations (TIR) to collect data currently collected under the TMA; and,
Refine and potentially expand the rail data that is collected.
Refining and expanding data would primarily be aimed at increasing the transparency of Canada’s freight-rail network, particularly in respect of railway service and performance.
We invite railways, freight-rail users, and interested Canadians to share their feedback on the type of data needed to better understand Canada’s freight-rail system.
For more information on what is currently collected under the TIR and TMA, and options for changes to freight rail data collection, contact TC.freightrail-fretferroviaire.TC@tc.gc.ca for a copy of the discussion paper, Freight Rail Data Regulations: Refining the Data Requirements of the Transportation Modernization Act.
