Locomotive Emissions Monitoring Program

The annual Locomotive Emissions Monitoring (LEM) data filing has been completed for 2010 in accordance with the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed on May 15, 2007, between the Railway Association of Canada (RAC), Environment Canada and Transport Canada concerning the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) and criteria air contaminants (CAC) from locomotives operating in Canada. The MOU identifies specific commitments that the major railway companies agreed to pursue during the 2006 to 2010 period. This report represents the final annual report prepared under the MOU. Subsequent annual reports will be prepared as per the requirements of an MOU which will guide performance in this area from 2011 - 2016.
