Transport Action Canada
Welcome to Transport Action Canada
Transport 2000 Canada, the nation's leading citizen transportation advocacy group, is now Transport Action Canada. The name may be new, but our mission remains the same since our founding in 1976: to seek sound transportation policies, practices and services which improve the quality of life for all Canadians.

Please update your contact lists with our new name and new website address: www.transport-action.ca. Also, please note our updated contact information.
