The Alberta government has announced a long-term strategy for developing passenger rail services over the next three decades. This master plan outlines the vision for expanding rail connectivity within the province, with an emphasis on enhancing regional travel options.

Key elements of the plan include prioritizing the establishment of passenger train routes that link downtown cores directly to the airports in Edmonton and Calgary. These downtown-to-airport connections are identified as initial priority projects aimed at improving access and mobility in these major urban centers.
