The Impact of Urban Mobility on Canada's Trade Corridors

Ce webinaire à été offert en anglais.

The impacts of urban traffic congestion on delay, fuel use and the cost of doing business in Canada are immense but difficult to measure. In partnership with provincial and territorial transportation agencies, Transport Canada is using probe-based traffic speed data to calculate a travel time index for 56 key trade corridors in 30 large urban areas. This index is in an important tool to help quantify congestion and its economic impacts.
