CONNECTING CALGARY AND BANFF WITH 20-MINUTE FREQUENCY RAIL SERVICE AT NO COST TO THE PROVINCE
With the driving of the last spike in the Canadian Pacific Railway, Canada and Canadians were connected coast to coast.
Building on this legacy, the Calgary Airport – Banff Rail (CABR) project represents a nation-building and region-defining opportunity for Alberta, Calgary, and the Bow Valley corridor.
This hydrogen-powered rail service will provide a seamless, eco-friendly “one-seat ride” from Calgary’s airport to Banff, reducing traffic and emissions. By connecting major tourism hubs, CABR will bolster the local economy and enhance the travel experience for millions of visitors annually—all at no cost to the Province.
A partnership between public and private sectors, CABR is designed to strengthen regional transit infrastructure while offering frequent, reliable service on dedicated tracks, supporting both residents and Alberta’s thriving tourism industry.
