Grade Crossings Regulations Consultations

On January 30, 2012, Transport Canada officially launched the public consultation process for the development of the Railway-Roadway Grade Crossings Regulations.

Transport Canada is proposing to develop Regulations that will:

  • promote safer grade crossings to save lives, prevent severe injuries and derailments;
  • clarify roles and responsibilities; and
  • provide comprehensive safety standards.

With an approach that is:

  • phased-in; 
  • focused on making grade crossing owners accountable; and
  • proactive.
       The consultation process will be conducted in two phases.
  Phase 1 Phase 2
Who? General Public and grade crossing owners Grade crossing owners only
What?
  • All will get a chance to submit their comments in writing on the draft Railway-Roadway Grade Crossings Policy to Transport Canada; and
  • Grade crossing owners will have to register to phase 2.
Consultation meetings in seven provinces
When?
  • Written Submission: April 24, 2012
  • Registration Form: May 11, 2012
May and June, 2012

I would like to participate in the consultation process for the development of the
Railway-Roadway Grade Crossings Regulations.
