About CARS

The Canadian Association of Railway Suppliers is a member driven association of companies that supply products and services to railways and transits locally and globally. Our membership includes a wide variety of large, medium and small businesses. CARS has been around for many years but incorporated in its current form in 1991.

The association helps members maximize their business opportunities by opening doors in the industry and at the government level both foreign and domestic. We serve as a conduit to ensure that up-to-date information on timely news items, events, contracts and procurements are available that would be of benefit to members and the industry as a whole.

CARS also plays a vital role in helping to influence decisions that are made in Ottawa and in the provinces that affect the rail industry.
