Abstract:

In June 1978, Congress requested the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) to

conduct "a detailed comparison between conditions prevailing in railway safety

in the United States and a review of safety operations in Canada. " Responding

to this request, this OTA report identifies the similarities and differences

between the U.S. and Canadian railroad systems and Government/rail

relationships. It establishes a base from which the overall comparability of

safety between the two systems is made. The report surveys the safety

activities of Canadian railroads, Government, labor, and other organizations

and compares those efforts with counterpart safety activities in the United

States. The HTML link in this record leads to a Table of Contents for this document
