Institutional Functions, Programs and Activities

Adjudication and Alternative Dispute Resolution

The Agency helps to protect the interests of users, service providers and others affected by the national transportation system through access to a specialized dispute resolution system of formal and informal processes for rail, air and marine transportation matters within the federal transportation network. Where possible, the Agency encourages the resolution of disputes through informal processes such as facilitation, mediation, and arbitration. As a quasi-judicial tribunal, the Agency also has the authority to issue decisions and orders on matters within its jurisdiction of federally-regulated modes of transportation through formal adjudication.

Resolution of Air, Marine, Rail, and Accessibility Transportation Disputes

The Agency helps to protect the interests of the travelling public, shippers and Canadian air carriers by ensuring that fares, rates, charges, and terms and conditions of carriage are consistent with Canadian legislation, regulations and rules on appeals of new or revised air navigational charges imposed by NAV Canada. The Agency is also responsible for resolving disputes between travellers and transportation providers by ensuring the undue obstacles to the mobility of persons with disabilities are removed from federally regulated transportation services and facilities for all modes of transport under federal jurisdiction, namely, air, rail, and extra-provincial ferry and bus services. It resolves disputes between railways and shippers on various issues, such as rates and level of service arising within the rail industry; and between railway companies and municipalities, road authorities, landowners and others over railway infrastructure matters. In addition, the Agency resolves disputes between vessel operators and port and pilotage authorities pertaining to certain marine activities including the power to rule, in response to a complaint, on whether charges for pilotage in federally regulated waters or fees fixed by port authorities, respectively, are unreasonable and not in the public interest or are unjustly discriminatory.

The Agency helps to protect the interests of users, service providers and others affected by the national transportation system through the economic regulation of air, rail and marine transportation by the administration of laws, regulations, voluntary codes of practice, educational and outreach programs.

Air, Rail, Marine and Accessibility Transportation Regulation

The Agency helps to protect the interests of the travelling public through the regulation of air, rail, marine and accessibility transportation by regulating and administering a licensing system for air carriers that provide domestic or international publicly available air transportation services; enforcing the relevant provisions of the Canada Transportation Act (S.C. 1996, c. 10) as amended and its related regulations; administering a permit system for international charter operations; helping to negotiate and administer bilateral air agreements with other countries and administering international air tariffs. The Agency also ensures that undue obstacles to the mobility of persons with disabilities are removed from federally-regulated transportation services and facilities by developing regulations, codes of practice, standards, educational and outreach programs concerning the level of accessibility in modes of transport under federal jurisdiction, such as air, rail, and marine. It further regulates rail transportation in Canada by issuing certificates of fitness allowing rail carriers to operate; approving rail line construction, rail crossing construction, and overseeing environmental assessments for rail projects triggered under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. It oversees the process for discontinuing service on rail lines and disposing of related assets, and undertakes other duties with economic, public and national interests in mind. It also determines regulated railway interswitching rates and the railway companies' revenue caps for the movement of western grain. The Agency develops rail costing standards and regulations; and audits railway companies' accounting and statistics-generating systems, as required. Additionally, the Agency acts as an economic regulator for certain marine activities. It protects the interests of Canadian vessel operators engaged in coasting trade by determining if a Canadian ship is suitable and/or available; when the use of a foreign ship is being proposed; and administers legislation governing shipping conferences.
