Province Pursues Passenger Rail Feasibility Study

A train passes by a platform at high speed at night. The long exposure of the image stretches and distorts the train.

Link Nova Scotia and the Province is calling on qualified consultants to carry out a passenger rail feasibility study. A request for standing qualification (RFSQ) was issued today, August 19. Identified as a key action in the recently released Regional Transportation Plan and in the Province’s response, the rail study will assess potential opportunities and challenges associated with light rail transit in Halifax Regional Municipality and passenger rail in the broader region.
