Description of Activities

The Railway Association of Canada (RAC) represents close to 60 freight and passenger railway companies—railways that transport millions of passengers and approximately $350 billion worth of goods across our country each year. RAC also counts a growing number of industrial railways and railway supply companies in its associate membership. As part of the fifth largest rail network in the world, RAC members are the backbone of Canada’s transportation system. The RAC's dedicated team of professionals coordinates the development of rules and recommended practices pertaining to operations and safety, which have made rail the safest mode of surface transportation. RAC staff conducts the research, policy development and advocacy necessary to lobby all levels of government and transportation-related businesses to promote rail's advantages and ensure fair treatment among other modes.
