Helping Canada Stay on Track to Fight Climate Change
International Comparison of Railway Freight Rates
CPCS was requested by the Railway Association of Canada (RAC) to conduct an independent examination comparing railway freight rates internationally and to prepare a report on this work. The intention of the study is to compare average railway freight rates at the national level, measured for purposes of international comparison as railway annual freight revenues per revenue ton-mile (RTM) for 2021 in US cents.
Developing a rail decarbonization roadmap for Canada
The objective of the Rail Pathways Initiative was to create a roadmap to rail
decarbonization based on emerging low-carbon technologies. This entailed
developing a framework for assessing GHG reduction opportunities in Canada’s rail sector and creating a strategy to apply it to inform decision making on decarbonization in the years and decades ahead.
