ABOUT

Safe Rail Communities (SRC) is a community-based initiative, started in March 2014 by neighbours in Toronto’s West end.

Responding to the alarming increase in DOT-111 rail tanks carrying crude oil and other hazardous materials on the Canadian Pacific rail line that runs through mid-town Toronto, SRC advocates for greater transparency and safeguards with respect to the transportation of crude oil and other hazardous materials along rail lines throughout Canada.

SRC is committed to raising awareness at local, provincial, and national levels. SRC seeks to unite rail communities across Canada around this pressing issue.

Currently, SRC is actively pursuing the attention of all levels of government. SRC is calling for more openness and discussion between government, railway companies, and communities around the transportation of crude oil and other hazardous materials along rail lines throughout Canada.
