Previous Engagements

Passenger Rail Forum - November 2024

As part of the development of the Passenger Rail Master Plan, Alberta’s government hosted a one-day forum where local communities, industry and experts came together to collaborate and share information on passenger rail opportunities and challenges. The forum included experts from Ontario, Quebec, California, Italy, Spain and Japan who are involved in passenger rail procurement, governance and operations. The sessions allowed for the sharing of best practices and lessons learned on passenger rail planning and development.

Outcomes

Your feedback will help inform the development of the Passenger Rail Master Plan, which will be completed in summer 2025.
