National Standards
Canadian Transit Rail Standards Development Program
TRACCS Transit and Rail is proud to announce its partnership with the CSA (Canadian Standards Association) to develop practical passenger rail standards. These standards for the Canadian environment will provide clear guidance on engineering specifications, safety management in operational railway environments, and competency requirements for passenger rail work. Our goal is to enhance safety, improve constructability, reduce costs, and ensure project timelines are met.
​
As part of this collaboration with CSA , we are working on a strategy to establish a timeline for the development of these standards and associated documents. We will prioritize the most critical documents to be produced first, ensuring that the most important issues are addressed efficiently and implemented in a timely manner.
