Canadian Transportation Agency
- Canadian Transportation Agency
The Canadian Transportation Agency is an independent, quasi-judicial tribunal that makes decisions on many economic matters relating to federally-regulated modes of transportation (air, rail and marine). A decision or order of the Agency may be made an order of the Federal Court or of any superior court and is enforceable in the same manner as such an order. Along with its roles as an economic regulator and an aeronautical authority, the Agency works to facilitate accessible transportation, and serves as a dispute resolution authority over certain transportation rate and service complaints.
The Agency is divided into five branches: the Air and Accessible Transportation Branch; the Rail and Marine Branch; the Legal Services and Secretariat Branch; the Chairman's Office; and the Corporate Management Branch.
The Agency is headed by five full-time members, including the Chairman (who is also the Chief Executive Officer), and the Vice Chairman.
