Rail

In the rail sector, Transport Canada is monitoring operations and security. The security of passenger rail transportation has been enhanced at critical locations and facilities through the implementation of detailed security plans.

Transport Canada is also working with the Railway Association of Canada on the further development and testing of security and emergency plans, the exchange of information and incident reporting.

Since September 11, the Government of Canada has worked closely with the provinces, and intelligence and law enforcement authorities, to monitor and assess security-related concerns. Action has been taken to enhance security at strategic locations such as bridges and tunnels, and to increase awareness of security in the transportation of dangerous goods.
