Canada invests millions to improve railway safety
The Canadian government is providing CAD 16.5 million (EUR 10.9 million) to support 136 new projects and initiatives. The money includes funding for new projects that focus on infrastructure, technology, research, and safety improvements on rail property, the use of innovative technologies, research and studies, as well as the closures of grade crossings that present safety concerns.
Grade crossing and trespassing accidents still cause the most rail-related deaths and serious injuries in Canada. The country's government is therefore committed to reducing the number of these accidents by taking appropriate action as required. (ben)
