This is a guide for rail shippers and other freight rail stakeholders. It explains what information would be helpful for you to provide if you believe the CTA should open – or it has already opened – an "own-motion" investigation (OMI) into possible rail service issues. In particular, the guide explains:
- the purpose of OMIs;
- the information the CTA needs to open an OMI;
- the kinds of information you could provide; and
- the key OMI question your information helps answer.
This is a guide for shippers. It explains:
- shippers' right to railway service in Canada;
- the level of service the railway must provide (adequate and suitable);
- the two ways of getting service terms and a rate (contracts and tariffs);
- the right some shippers have to interswitching (the transfer of freight between two railways) at a regulated rate; and
- shippers' options for resolving disputes about service and rates.
