    Type Web Page
    Abstract Governments in Canada have taken wide-ranging steps within their own constitutional jurisdictions to slow and contain the spread of COVID-19, including through strong and continued federal/provincial/territorial (FPT) collaboration. As the first wave of the virus’ activity passes, all governments want to safely restore economic activity, while protecting the health of Canadians. Until there is a vaccine or effective treatment for COVID-19, strong measures must be in place for this new normal phase of living with COVID-19 to contain future waves or outbreaks and protect Canadians and economies across the country.

  • Government of Canada introduces new digital initiatives to its suite of virtual tools for COVID‑19

    Author Health Canada
    Abstract COVID-19 is a global public health challenge that continues to evolve rapidly. The pandemic has greatly changed the daily lives of people around the world, including in Canada, and in response, the Government of Canada is developing digital tools to keep Canadians safe and informed. "Get Updates on COVID-19" is a web-based email service that provides subscribers with critical information related to the pandemic. Developed by Health Canada, the Canadian Digital Service (CDS), and Service Canada, subscribers to the service will get emails directing them to important and authoritative content on the Government of Canada’s COVID-19 website, Canada.ca/coronavirus. In addition, the "ArriveCan" app, developed in collaboration with the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Canada Border Services Agency, has been launched across the country. It allows travellers returning to Canada to input their 14-day isolation or quarantine information quickly, easily and securely upon arrival. The app works by digitizing the information collected under the current paper form that travellers must complete. This required information includes flight or border crossing details, whether travellers are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, and whether they have quarantine accommodations.

But transit still has a vital role to play in serving communities during this essential time of need, even when we’re not operating as usual. The transit agencies that have been able to quickly modify service and adjust to a new normal have: 1. Looked at their existing technology to see how it could be leveraged for new purposes 2. Reached out to software vendors like us to implement what others are doing.

    Abstract What will COVID-19’s long-term impact be on Toronto? Will it forever change how people work and live? “Cities have been around for centuries and have survived pandemics,” says Matti Siemiatycki, an associate professor in the University of Toronto’s department of geography and planning in the Faculty of Arts & Science. “Cities will survive this one. But health and disease have been key drivers of change, so it's conceivable our city will evolve and change as a response to this.” What those changes ultimately look like will depend on how long the crisis lasts and the decisions made by governments and businesses in response. Siemiatycki, who is the interim director of U of T’s School of Cities, recently sat down with writer Sean McNeely to discuss some of the questions facing post-pandemic Toronto.

    Type Web Page
    Abstract With the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic hitting the transportation industry hard, TRB’s catalog of research on infectious disease and other biological threats to people and transportation systems is crucial in helping to advise transportation professionals. Transportation officials must be prepared to know how to minimize the consequences to their communities. In regards to biothreats, a recent National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report suggests that there are advantages to addressing natural, accidental, and intentional incidents as part of the same family of challenges. Strong interagency coordination is required from different components of the U.S. government effort in addressing these threats. Given the role that rapid travel of people, goods, and services plays in the spread of potential biothreats, there are important steps and plans that the transportation industry can take at the federal, state, and local levels to coordinate with and learn from experiences in the United States and globally.

    Abstract Ontario is planning for the next phase of responding to the coronavirus (COVID‑19) outbreak – reopening our province. As a first step, we have developed a framework to guide our approach. This framework outlines the method and principles we will use to reopen businesses, services and public spaces to responsibly lead Ontario’s economy back to a strong position. The Ontario Jobs and Recovery Committee is a key part of applying this framework. The committee will consult with people and businesses to assess the economic impacts of COVID‑19, learn about their unique needs, and help guide Ontario to our “new normal.”

  • Surrey Fast-tracks Roadwork During COVID-19, Achieves Significant Gains in Completion Timelines

    Type Web Page
    Author City of Surrey
    Abstract With schools closed and many residents working from home during COVID-19, the City of Surrey has strategically fast-tracked roadwork projects to take advantage of the 40% traffic volume reduction on roads. Several projects scheduled for the summer months have been brought forward and the City has relaxed traffic restrictions on contractors by allowing full road closures on large projects, and extended work hours through typical peak times, to further increase project efficiencies. “By taking full advantage of the reduced traffic volumes during COVID-19, we are able to fast-track a number of capital and regional projects that would have otherwise been constructed this summer through 2021,” said Mayor Doug McCallum. “This forward-thinking approach will allow some projects to complete up to a full year ahead of schedule, while improving commuter experience and safety when restrictions ease. Not only have we been able to accelerate these projects, but we have continued to invest in our transportation networks in this time of pandemic.”
