Department of Transportation and Infrastructure

Provincial ministry (Kings Place, Fredericton) responsible for New Brunswick's roughly 18,000 km highway network, 5,500 bridges and large culverts, and multimodal transportation policy. Its Strategic Partnerships and Trade Corridors Branch houses a Rail Regulatory Authority — responsible for administering and enforcing the Shortline Railways Act and Regulations, and for maintaining grade crossings on provincially designated highways — and a Trade Corridor Development unit that acts as the department's multimodal (air, rail and marine) subject-matter experts, advocating for and supporting initiatives rather than procuring them. No rail-specific competitive procurement or grant programme (comparable to other provinces' short-line support schemes) was identified in the 2023-24 or 2024-25 annual reports. General government procurement runs through the New Brunswick Opportunities Network (NBON).
