The Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) acts as a tribunal and regulator with the power of a superior court in the transportation sector. Its mandate is to federally regulate

different modes of transportation (air, rail and marine). It has three key focuses: • To help ensure that the national transportation system is run efficiently and smoothly in the interest of all Canadians; • To protect the human rights of people with disabilities to have an accessible transportation network; • To provide protection for air passengers. To support its focuses, the CTA makes decisions based on research and data analysis of the transportation sector. The CTA uses analytical results from industry issues, trends, and risks to inform reporting, legislative review, regulatory drafting, impact assessments, and policy development. The CTA has a requirement for: i. Air Fare Data on all Canadian and foreign air carriers to conduct regulatory impact assessment on fare prices, as well as general studies on air prices and the air industry; ii. Flight Data on all Canadian and foreign air carriers to conduct further analysis informing the state of the air carrier's performance in Canada and to assess compliance with the new Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR); iii. Passenger Data on all Canadian and foreign air carriers to classify large or small air carriers under the APPR and Accessible Transportation for Persons with Disabilities Regulations (ATPDR), as well as to conduct general analysis of the air industry; iv. Operations Data on Canadian air carriers to identify large and small transportation service providers in the ATPDR; v. Air Carrier Fleet Data on Canadian air carriers to inform effective compliance promotion, monitoring, verification and enforcement of CTA-related legislation and regulations, and; vi. Financial Data on foreign air carriers to identify the corresponding implication foreign air carriers have on the Canadian air industry, related to air carriers that flies to / from and within Canada. Contract duration The estimated contract period will be 6 month(s), with a proposed start date of 2024/10/01.
