Today, the Minister of Transport and Leader of the Government in the House of Commons, the Honourable Steven MacKinnon, announced the launch of two calls for proposals under the Rail Safety Improvement Program: the Education and Awareness stream, and the Infrastructure, Technology and Research stream.
Through these funding opportunities, Transport Canada will support projects that improve safety at railway crossings and along railway corridors, helping protect communities and prevent injuries and fatalities.
Transport Canada will be accepting applications through open, competitive calls for proposals until
- August 21, 2026 for the Education and Awareness stream, and
- September 4, 2026 for the Infrastructure, Technology, and Research stream.
Through the Rail Safety Improvement Program, the Government of Canada is investing in infrastructure enhancements, innovative technologies, research initiatives, climate resilience measures, and public education activities across the country.
Investing in rail safety today helps prevent incidents tomorrow. These investments help reduce risk, protect communities, and support a safer and more reliable rail transportation network for Canadians.
