Canadian Transportation Agency publishes its Red Tape Review Report

September 8th, 2025 – Gatineau, QC – Canadian Transportation Agency

The Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) has issued its Red Tape Review Progress Report 2025. The Report identifies three initiatives to ease the administrative burden for organizations within the transportation system and support the commitment by the Government to lower costs for Canadians and to build a stronger economy. This report illustrates the CTA’s commitment to help ensure that the national transportation system runs efficiently and smoothly in the interests of all Canadians.

The Government launched a Red Tape Review across departments and agencies with regulatory responsibilities in July 2025.

The CTA initiatives are:

• Reducing reporting requirements for air carriers related to tariffs;
• Improving internal processes for railway construction applications; and,
• Removing unnecessary and outdated air carrier requirements.

Looking forward, the CTA will continue to identify opportunities to reduce the administrative burden on the transportation industry while safeguarding protections for consumers, and ensuring the efficiency of the national transportation system. It will also work with Treasury Board Secretariat’s Red Tape Reduction Office to consult with stakeholders and move these initiatives forward.
