Programme canadien d'élaboration de normes de transport ferroviaire

standards map of canada.png

These standards for the Canadian environment will provide clear guidance on engineering specifications, safety management in operational railway environments, and competency requirements for passenger rail work. Our goal is to enhance safety, improve constructability, reduce costs, and ensure project timelines are met.

TRACCS Transit and Rail is proud to announce its partnership with

CSA Group (Canadian Standards Association)

to develop practical passenger rail standards.

As part of this collaboration with CSA Group, we are working on a strategy to establish a timeline for the development of these standards and associated documents. We will prioritize the most critical documents to be produced first, ensuring that the most important issues are addressed efficiently and implemented in a timely manner.

We are calling on all members to actively participate in upcoming workshops focused on Mechanical  & Electrical (M&E), Competency, Engineering, Signalling, Rolling Stock, and Safety. These workshops will commence over the coming months, and we encourage everyone to get involved. Don’t sit on the sidelines as your input is crucial to shaping the future of the rail industry in Canada.
