Transport Action Canada

Founded as Transport 2000 Canada in 1977, they are a non-profit, consumer-based organization that promotes sustainable transport through advocacy and education. It is concerned with all modes of public transport, such as passenger train service, aviation including air safety, and urban transit. Their association functions as a citizen-based advocacy group, compared to transport industry based bodies such as the Railway Association of Canada or the Canadian Urban Transit Association. They regularly communicate with government and industry officials– such as Transport Canada and elected officials of all government levels– to promote and advocate for sustainable transport views. Canadian news media agencies frequently interview their officials on transportation matters.
