VIAction 2030 Strategic Plan

 

Championing Passenger Rail Together

The train is having a moment.

Worldwide, it is increasingly being recognized as an important vehicle in the global drive to reduce our collective carbon footprint and in providing a more accessible and equitable world.

That’s why we are introducing VIAction 2030.

This roadmap translates our ambition into concrete actions. This strategic plan is also an invitation to embark with us, because profound transformation can only happen if we champion passenger rail together.

 

"Canada was built by rail, and I fundamentally believe in the transformative potential of this industry. I have the ambition to act now to create meaningful change for our passengers, and this plan gives us a clear roadmap which allows us to aim higher and transform the way we operate."
– Mario Péloquin, President and CEO of VIA Rail

 

"The five pillars of this plan will enable us, among other things, to improve our operations through innovation and continuous improvement and to collaborate with the various players of the transportation industry to better serve Canadians from coast to coast. Thanks to this five-year strategy, we are convinced that even more people will choose the train as the comfortable, sustainable and accessible transportation solution."
– Vanessa Cherenfant, Chief Strategy Officer
