Accession consists of records created and/or maintained by the Atlantic Regional Office of the Canadian Transport Commission (CTC) and its predecessors. Records document the Atlantic Region Freight Subsidy Program and cover file blocks 14104 Maritime Freight Rate Act (MFRA), 14480 Atlantic Region Freight Rate Assistance Act (ARFAA), 14481 Audit and Verification, 14505 ARFAA - Internal Subsidies, 14531 Atlantic Provinces Transportation Commission, 14542 Atlantic Region Transportation Problems and Rate Structure, 14559 Atlantic Region Selective Assistance Claims, 14577 Statistics and Surveys, 14598 ARFAA - Atlantic Region Special Selective and Provisional Assistance Regulations (ARSS & PAR), 14632 CTC Designations (Tariff Circular 1-A) and 14639 Field Audit.

As part of the Atlantic Region Freight Subsidy Program the Atlantic Regional Office administered the MFRA of 1927 and the ARFAA of 1969. The MFRA provided for a 20% reduction in rail rates in eastern Quebec and the Maritimes. The railways would claim the monetary value of the reduction for a refund from the government. The application of this law was first entrusted to the Board of Railway Commissioners, then in 1938 to the Canadian Transportation Commission and in 1967 to the Canadian Transport Commission.

The ARFAA of 1969 had the effect of extending the subsidies to the trucking industry in Atlantic Canada and eastern Quebec.

The work of the Regional Office was to check up on claims made under grant programs.Their records include files on tariffs, the goods transported, studies on the MFRA and ARFAA and general files. This group of records covers all activities related to the granting of subsidies and how the Office carried out this function until the program ended in 1995.
