TAC Foundation

The Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) Foundation is a registered charity that operates independently from TAC.

It was established in 2003 to address the issue of shortages in the number of skilled people available for the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of Canada’s transportation infrastructure.

Vision

A robust and diverse Canadian transportation workforce

Mission

Developing tomorrow’s transportation leaders

The primary focus of the TAC Foundation has been to build support for transportation education, both in terms of annual total dollars available to students in transportation programs and in scope. The expansion in scope is in reference to broadening the reach of the scholarship program beyond university graduate students and implementing other programs to support transportation education in Canada, such as promoting careers in transportation to high school students and assisting transportation educators and researchers.
