  • Improving and Expanding Cross Border Rail Passenger Service Through the Implementation of Pre-Clearance
    Improving and Expanding Cross Border Rail Passenger Service through the Implementation of Pre-clearance PURPOSE: This paper provides background and an overview of the issues associated with pre- clearance for passenger rail between the United States and Canada, and the potential benefits of expanding pre-clearance to international rail service that provides a direct route from the border to a clearance facility. The Eastern Border Transportation Coalition (EBTC) strongly supports the Beyond the Border Action Plan’s call to establish a pre-clearance agreement, and to expand the availability of pre-clearance where appropriate. BACKGROUND Pre-clearance makes air travel easier for the millions of passengers moving between Canada and the United States each year by allowing them to be cleared for entry to the United States before departing from Canadian airports. The United States has provided pre-clearance services in major Canadian airports for more than 50 years, operating under the provisions specified in the 1974 Canada-U.S. Air Transport Pre-clearance Agreement (last updated in 1999). Pre-clearance between Canada and the U.S. is already available at eight Canadian airports (Montreal -Trudeau, Ottawa, Toronto, Halifax, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver) While the language in the Pre-clearance Act, the enabling Canadian legislation (see Appendix A), states in the preamble that, “it has become desirable to put into place statutory authority to facilitate the movement of travelers and goods across the border between the two counties by all means of transportation” it is currently limited to air travel only. Pre-clearance would improve cross-border travel times for rail passengers by providing advanced screening at a secure facility before they cross the international border while simultaneously improving and enhancing security processes and effectiveness.

Next, I would like to thank my other geography professors, especially Dr. Weaver. Dr. Weaver has guided me through my years as an Urban and Regional Planning major and has helped me better understand the panning discipline and profession. Thank you, Dr. Weaver, for your help throughout the years and for instilling my understanding of the planning profession.

Its tremendous breadth and depth are the fruit of careful work on the part of the many experts consulted, along with the active participation of residents, associations and institutions, all of them equally concerned that it should include specifi c measures to protect and enhance the Mountain. I am convinced that the measures in the Plan will make Mount Royal one of the fi nest natural and heritage sites on the continent. There will be many challenges as we continue to work toward this goal, and the Plan has the advantage of identifying them clearly: protecting and upgrading natural habitats that are especially sensitive because they are in the heart of the city; preserving and restoring the built heritage and, fi nally, maintaining and enhancing landscapes and views. Gérald Tremblay Meeting these goals calls for a wide variety of actions – from day-to-day vigilance Mayor of Montréal to moving forward with long-term strategic projects. One of the strengths of the Plan is in fact its detailed description of the means for pursuing all of these goals.

  • Travel & Passports
    TRAVEL & PASSPORTS Passports Please make sure you have a valid passport for travel to Canada! Some countries require travelers to have passports with at least six months of remaining validity as an entry requirement. Those who do not have a passport or who need to renew a passport should take appropriate steps as soon as possible to avoid rush fees. For U.S. passport information: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports.html For information on passport validity: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/passport-help/faqs.html Scroll down to the section “How long is a passport valid.” Visit Canada website: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada.html Customs Vendors and other attendees who plan to bring goods across the border should consult the Canadian Border Services site for information on importing goods for events held in Canada by a foreign organization. If you plan to ship goods to the hotel, FedEx is recommended. Please be advised that hotel personnel are not able to assist with issues related to customs. By Air The Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL) is serviced by all major airlines. If you are flying into Canada from the US and transfer before Montréal, you will go through customs when you first arrive in Canada. Likewise, when departing Montréal, you won’t need to go through customs at the Trudeau International Airport if you will be transferring via another Canadian city. Taxis between the airport and hotels in downtown Montréal are a flat rate of $41 CAD. If you wish to take public transportation, the 747 bus is an affordable option that will take you from the airport to downtown Montréal (and vice versa).
