Take Action
Send an email to your MP, the Federal Minister of Transportation and Prime Minister Trudeau, demanding better investment, service and access to Canada’s National Passenger Rail System, VIA Rail.
Passenger rail service in Canada is facing monumental issues. Service cuts are harming riders and causing a decline in ridership. Funding cuts and outdated equipment and infrastructure add to the issue and put workers’ safety at risk. It is time for the federal government to create a national passenger rail service that provides safe, reliable, frequent transportation across the country and good, green, long-term jobs.
Canada needs a legislative framework that protects public, accessible, safe passenger rail and directs immediate public investments to build Canada's passenger rail infrastructure, prioritize passenger trains, and improve services for travellers.
