Transport-related projects
This year, Transport Canada focused on a number of activities to support Transportation 2030.
The Oceans Protection Plan
$1.5 billion over 5 years to improve marine safety and responsible shipping, protect Canada’s marine environment, and creating stronger Indigenous partnerships and engage with coastal communities.
National Trade Corridors Fund
Investing $2.3 billion over 11 years (2017-18 to 2027-28) to strengthen Canada’s trade infrastructure (ports, waterways, airports, bridges, border crossings, and rail networks). Budget 2021 proposes an additional $1.9 billion over 4 years, starting in 2021-22, to recapitalize the fund.
Modernizing Canada’s transportation system
Developing strategies, regulations and pilot projects to safely use automated and connected vehicles and drones.
Canadian Centre on Transportation Data
Creating a single source for high-quality, timely and accessible transportation data and information. The Centre provides links to transportation data, information on how the transportation system is performing, and a map with links to information about Canada’s larger land border crossings, airports and ports. The Centre supports evidence-based decision-making by addressing transportation data gaps, strengthening partnerships, and increasing the transparency of strategic transportation information.
The Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change
Developing measures like the federal carbon pricing benchmark and clean fuel standard, and conducting research and testing on clean transportation technologies for all modes of transportation. Implementing Transport Canada’s transportation adaptation initiatives: the Northern Transportation Adaptation Initiative and the Transportation Assets Risk Assessment initiative.
