Role Responsibilities:

Alberta's government recognizes the importance of passenger rail for the future of a rapidly growing province.

Passenger rail services connected to urban mass transit shapes and strengthens regional transportation systems, connects communities, supports jobs and the economy, and improves access to housing.

On April 29, 2024, Premier Danielle Smith and Minister Dreeshen announced that Alberta's government will develop a Passenger Rail Master Plan as the foundation to advancing passenger rail in the province.

The government's vision is for an Alberta passenger rail system that includes public, private or hybrid passenger rail, including:

commuter rail system for the Calgary area that connects surrounding communities and the Calgary International Airport to downtown;

- commuter rail system for the Edmonton area that connects surrounding communities and the Edmonton International Airport to downtown;
- regional rail lines between Calgary and Edmonton and the Rocky Mountain parks;
- regional rail line between Calgary and Edmonton, with a local transit hub in Red Deer;
- municipal-led LRT systems in Calgary and Edmonton that integrate with the provincial passenger rail system; and
- multi-modal hubs serving the major cities that would provide linkages between a commuter rail system, regional rail routes, and municipal-led mass transit systems.

Alberta's Passenger Rail Master Plan will look forward decades and identify concrete actions that can be taken now as well as in the future to build the optimal passenger rail system for the province.

The Master Plan will assess the feasibility of passenger rail in the province, including regional (inter-city), commuter and high-speed services.

Development of the Master Plan will include engagement with Albertans, Indigenous communities, private sector, municipalities and other interested stakeholders.

The Master Plan is expected to be completed by summer 2025.
