Thank you for the question.
The TDG program promotes public safety in the transportation of dangerous goods by all modes of transport.
So it is not just for rail.
We do that through a regulatory and oversight regime that supports public safety, economic growth, and innovation. We conduct oversight of the transportation of dangerous goods to ensure that entities are following the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act and regulations. We also conduct research on various types of tank cars or how different dangerous goods are reacting.
It's an agile, data-driven, risk-based organization. Our inspections are based on risk. We have 118 inspectors across the country, who will inspect all modes. Last year, we conducted over 4,000 multimodal inspections.
We have also enforced the law nearly 6,000 times.
