CFA Letter to Minister of Transportation in Support for CN Rail Grade Crossing Exemptions

We recommend that the government support Canadian National Railway (CN)’s proposal to seek a regulatory exemption to Transport Canada’s Grade Crossings Regulations for specific crossings where cost-effective alternative measures could be implemented that would provide the same level of safety.
Should Transport Canada not grant these exemptions, we ask that the railways bear the cost of upgrades and improvements and that the financial burden does not fall to farm families.
We also recommend that the government work with other railways, like Canadian Pacific Kansas City, to further identify specific crossings where cost-effective alternative measures could be implemented.
