Help Shape Alberta's Passenger Rail Future
Official title: Passenger rail engagement
Alberta is developing a 30-year master plan for passenger rail across the province. The government wants to know what Albertans think about regional, commuter, and high-speed rail options. They're exploring both public and private delivery models to build the best system possible.
Why This Matters
Tired of driving between Calgary and Edmonton? This could change how you travel across Alberta. A passenger rail network might mean faster, cheaper trips between cities. It could also create jobs and reduce highway congestion.
What Could Change
Alberta could build new passenger rail lines connecting Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, and Canmore. High-speed rail might become a reality. The government will decide whether to run the system publicly, privately, or through a mix of both.
Key Issues
- What routes should passenger rail prioritize?
- Should the system be public, private, or a mix?
- What types of service matter most: regional, commuter, or high-speed?
