Aligning Our Mission and Values

In support of a more effective, future-ready transit rail system in Canada, TRACCS is engaging directly with leading voices across the industry, as well as with public-sector decision-makers who share a commitment to advancing the public interest.

Our objective is to move beyond observation and toward the development of practical, sector-informed recommendations that can lead to meaningful improvement.

Central to this effort is our coordination of the STAR workshops, which focus on Standards, Training, and Assurance in Rail. These sessions bring together diverse stakeholders to examine critical challenges, explore areas of alignment, and collaboratively identify solutions. The resulting reports are action-oriented: they do more than diagnose—they chart a path forward informed by expertise from both industry and public service perspectives.

Through these and other initiatives, TRACCS continues to foster dialogue, promote collaboration, and contribute constructively to the advancement of a safer, more standardized, and better-supported transit rail industry in Canada.

These reports are the product of in-depth research and the collective expertise of leading professionals in the rail and transit sector. Developed through a series of focused workshops and industry discussions, each report distills complex issues into clear, actionable insights. By combining rigorous analysis with diverse perspectives, we aim to provide resources that support informed decision-making and advance best practices across the industry.
