Transportation in Canada 2024

Conclusion

In 2024, Canada’s transportation system faced its share of challenges—from wildfires and cyber disruptions to labour disputes and global instability. Yet, through it all, the network remained resilient. Goods and people continued to reach their intended destinations and Canada’s economy stayed connected at home and abroad. Passenger travel grew, cargo volumes increased, and greenhouse gas emissions from transportation stayed below pre-pandemic levels—clear signs of progress in a complex world.

Throughout the year, important steps were taken to modernize and innovate to improve the Canadian transportation system. There was progress on projects like high-speed rail in the Québec City–Toronto corridor, new technologies were tested to improve airport security and cargo screening, and TC worked to make transportation more accessible for people with disabilities. TC also supported cleaner and more efficient ways to move people and goods through electric vehicle programs and green shipping corridors.

As we look to 2025, there is a lot to build on. TC will keep working to improve public transit, modernize infrastructure, strengthen safety and security, and expand access to cleaner transportation options. With more investment, better coordination, and smart use of technology, Canada’s transportation system is ready to meet the needs of a growing population and a changing world.

A safe, reliable, and sustainable transportation network is not just about moving from point A to B—it is about connecting people, supporting communities, and helping Canada thrive. The work we did in 2024 laid a strong foundation for the road ahead in 2025.
