Name of Lead Department(s): Transport Canada

Lead Department Program Activity: Clean Air from Transportation

Start Date: 2007-2008

End Date: 2010-2011*
*The ecomobility and Marine Shore Power programs were extended to 2011-2012.

Total Federal Funding Allocation (from start date to end date): *As of 2012, total allocation will be $463 million due to a $1.4-million allocation for a one-year extension of the ecomobility ($1.1 million) and Marine Shore Power ($0.3 million) programs.

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement): The ecotransport strategy involves a series of initiatives designed to reduce the amount of fuel consumed, improve transportation efficiency and introduce cleaner transportation technologies. Launched as part of the Government’s Clean Air Agenda, this strategy features the ecomobility Program; the ecotechnology for Vehicles program; the ecoenergy for Personal Vehicles program (Natural Resources Canada); and the ecofreight programs, which include Natural Resources Canada’s ecoenergy for Fleets program. The ecoauto Rebate Program and Environment Canada’s National Vehicle Scrappage Program were introduced separately but are complementary to the programs for personal vehicles.

(See the ecoaction website.)

• The ecomobility Program is a $9.3-million initiative that seeks to work with municipalities to help cut urban passenger transportation emissions by encouraging commuters to choose public transit or other sustainable transportation options. Working with cities across Canada, this initiative results in programs, services and products that improve sustainable transportation options in urban areas. This program was extended by one year to 2012.
• The ecotechnology for Vehicles program ($14.1 million) includes in-depth testing and showcasing of advanced technologies for vehicles in order to raise awareness, foster important new partnerships with the automotive industry and encourage the introduction of a broader range of environmental technologies in Canada. The ecoenergy for Personal Vehicles program ($21 million), delivered by Natural Resources Canada, will provide fuel consumption information and decision-making tools to encourage consumers to purchase fuel-efficient vehicles that are currently available in the market.
• The ecofreight programs, with $58.7 million in funding, feature new steps to reduce the environmental and health effects of freight transportation through technology and will be delivered by Transport Canada ($36.7 million) and Natural Resources Canada ($22 million). These programs include:
  • the Freight Technology Demonstration Fund ($9.3 million) that has provided cost-shared funding of demonstrations to test and measure new freight transportation technologies in real-world conditions; the Freight Technology Incentives Program ($9.4 million) that has provided cost-shared funding to help recipients purchase and install proven emission-reducing technologies; the ecofreight Partnerships program ($6.6 million) that has built industry partnerships; the Marine Shore Power Program, extended by one year to 2012 ($6 million) that demonstrates the installation and use of shore-based power for marine vessels in Canadian ports; the National Harmonization Initiative for the Trucking Industry ($5.4 million) that identifies regulatory barriers and solutions in collaboration with provinces and territories, so that the Canadian trucking industry can embrace emission-reducing technologies; and the ecoenergy for Fleets program ($22 million), aiming to reduce fuel use and emissions in commercial and institutional fleets via training, sharing of best practices, anti-idling campaigns, technical analysis to look for potential improvements and other technology opportunities.
• The $264-million ecoauto Rebate Program ended in March 2009. The program provided performance-based rebates to consumers who purchased fuel-efficient vehicles.
• Environment Canada’s National Vehicle Scrappage Program is a national program of $92 million over four years, intended to promote the accelerated scrappage of older vehicles.

Shared Outcome(s): The overall objective of the ecotransport Strategy is to reduce energy use and emissions in the transportation sector. All the specific measures envisioned in the strategy are expected to contribute to reduced fuel consumption. As a result, the personal vehicle fleet, as well as the freight sector, will use less energy. Other measures will help reduce the demand for personal transportation and encourage modal shifts to more sustainable transportation options. The strategy will lead to reduced emissions of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants that contribute to smog, thus protecting the environment and the health of Canadians.

Governance Structure(s): Under the ecotransport Strategy, each of the three departments implicated (Transport Canada, Natural Resources Canada and Environment Canada) will manage its respective programs in accordance with defined governance structures for the individual programs concerned. Each program is subject to a results-based management accountability framework that includes committee structures, risk management strategies, as well as provisions for performance measurement, information management, auditing, evaluation and reporting. In addition, a broader horizontal management accountability and reporting framework for the Clean Air Agenda was developed and encompasses, among others, all regulatory and program initiatives for clean transportation, including those of the ecotransport Strategy. The horizontal management accountability and reporting framework includes governance structures; financial, measurement, risk and information management strategies; and lines of reporting.

Performance Highlights: During their fourth and final year of operation, the ecotransport Strategy programs continued to address the challenges of pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the movement of people and goods in Canada. Regulations have been developed or are being developed to reduce emissions from road vehicles, as well as rail, air and marine transportation. Programs provide information essential to the development of informed regulations and to the coordination and harmonization of regulations across different jurisdictions. Programs also supplement regulations and help ensure their success by tackling two key barriers to reducing pollution from transportation: the lack of information, knowledge and engagement on the part of consumers and industry; and the costs and risks associated with uptake of new technologies. In 2010-2011, the focus was on completing the projects and program activities funded, measuring their impact and gathering information about results and cases to make this available to industry and other stakeholders.

To help inform the regulatory process, the ecotechnology for Vehicles program worked in partnership with vehicle manufacturers, industry associations, government departments and other stakeholders to test and evaluate emerging vehicle technologies in accordance with the test procedures developed by standard testing bodies and important regulatory agencies like the Society of Automotive Engineers. Under the National Harmonization Initiative for the Trucking Industry, two studies were commissioned examining the performance and potential safety implications of emerging add-on aerodynamic devices in the trucking industry. This includes the "Truck Trailer Side Skirts" study that reports on commercially available designs, their construction materials and mounting methods; cost; potential side effects for vehicle safety such as effects on brake cooling; and the ability of side skirts to provide side underrun protection to vulnerable road users such as cyclists.

Addressing the lack of information and improving knowledge is essential to change the behaviour of consumers and industry. A number of programs address this objective. The ecoenergy for Personal Vehicles program helped lower emissions from personal vehicles by providing training on fuel-efficient driving practices to over 580,000 new drivers. The ecoenergy for Fleets program helped reduce emissions from trucking by providing training in fuel-efficient driving practices to over 8000 drivers. To elicit the engagement of stakeholders, the ecoenergy for Fleets program concluded agreements with the trucking industry under which over 500 tractors and trailers were retrofitted with fuel-efficient components. Under the ecoenergy Partnerships program, memoranda of understanding continue to be implemented with the aviation and rail industries. In the aviation industry, annual average fuel efficiency improvements between 1990 and 2009 were 1.9 percent, surpassing the memorandum of understanding-established target of 1.1 percent. The intensity of greenhouse gas emissions from the rail industry similarly decreased by 23 percent by 2008 compared with the 1990 baseline. Finally, under the Freight Technology Demonstration Fund and the Freight Technology Incentives Program, over 30 different information-sharing products were developed, including webinars, technology case studies, greenhouse gas calculators and success stories. These products are available on the program’s website to inform stakeholders of the benefits of green freight technologies. In addition, one newsletter was developed and directly distributed to over 800 freight industry stakeholders to further stimulate technology adoption.

The costs and risks associated with new technologies are important barriers to capital turnover, particularly during a period of economic recession. To address this, the National Vehicle Scrappage Program provided incentives that led to the retirement of over 70,000 old, high-polluting vehicles. The Freight Technology Demonstration Fund and Freight Technology Incentives Program are completing their sponsorship of 40 projects valued at $25 million, covering a wide range of best practices and technology applications such as aerodynamics, electrification, engine innovation and best operating practices. The Marine Shore Power Program completed its second tranche of funding with the provision of $645,000 to the Prince Rupert Port Authority to demonstrate shore power technology for container ships at Fairview Terminal. The ecomobility Program continued to provide funding to 13 projects in 12 communities across Canada, and developed several information and social marketing tools needed to support the implementation of transportation demand management projects across Canada.

Finally, international harmonization and cooperation are essential to emissions reduction. To ensure that Canada’s voice is heard, under the ecofreight programs Transport Canada has contributed to the development of international environmental standards, practices and guidelines under the auspices of the International Civil Aviation Organization, the International Maritime Organization, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Expected Results for 2010-2011 for ecomobility

Increased use of transportation demand management measures can help reduce urban transportation greenhouse gas emissions. The ecomobility Program responds to two major findings from the Urban Transportation Showcase Program regarding barriers to the use of transportation demand management: a lack of knowledge on the part of Canadian practitioners and decision makers about transportation demand management measures; and a lack of resources to implement initiatives.

Immediate Outcomes:

• Informed positions on policies and programs influencing transportation technologies and practices.
• Increased participation of the target audience in emission-reducing activities through partnerships and other program activities.
• Increased capacity of the target audience to undertake initiatives that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants, or the release of toxic substances.

In 2010-2011, the 14 pilot projects that were announced for funding under the ecomobility Program will enter their second year of implementation. These 12 municipalities (one municipality is delivering two projects) will increase the use of transit, carpooling, and active transportation and pilot initiatives in workplaces and schools to encourage Canadians to use more sustainable modes of transportation, while advancing their understanding of how transportation demand management can work in their community to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing the use of alternatives to single occupancy vehicles. A qualitative and quantitative results measurement and reporting strategy will continue to be implemented in each of the 12 municipalities with respect to the demonstration projects. The project baseline information will be completed in 2009-2010; the first follow-up measurement will occur in 2010-2011; and the final measurement will be completed in 2011-2012. Information on the success factors in implementing various transportation demand management approaches will be shared with other Canadian communities during targeted workshops and Web-based information products in 2010-2011 and 2011-2012, thus increasing the knowledge and use of transportation demand management measures in a broader number of Canadian communities.

In order to further increase the capacity of Canadian municipalities to implement effective transportation demand management strategies to reduce energy consumption, as well as emissions of greenhouse gases and criteria air contaminants, a number of tools will be developed and disseminated under the program in addition to the funded pilot projects. Tools that have already been created and that will be shared more broadly in 2010-2011, will increase the capacity of municipalities to measure the impacts of transportation demand management strategies underway in their communities, and to develop and implement a range of options for small and rural communities; launch community bike-sharing programs/services; establish employee transit discount programs, as well as community-based social marketing approaches to support mode shift away from personal vehicle use; and telework programs and supporting services. New tools that will be developed and disseminated to municipalities in 2010-2011 will include guidelines (with hands-on professional development events) for identifying the business case for successful transportation demand management strategies; and case studies (approximately 10 to 15) on specific topics, including university and school-based transportation demand management initiatives, transit marketing strategies and recent trends in carpooling. The program will deliver/support approximately 20 learning events in 2010-2011.

In 2010-2011, program staff will monitor and track the number of participating municipalities in the above activities, the number of strategies and information products developed, and the size of the target audience reached with the information, so as to link the 2010-2011 program activities with the above immediate outcomes.

Intermediate Outcome:

• Use of transportation best practices that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants.

The program will not report intermediate outcomes until the final year of the program in 2011-2012. The program measurement strategy will be initiated in 2010-2011 to begin to collect information on the outcomes of the program. Indicators have been developed to measure changes in the Canadian capacity to implement the transportation demand management initiatives addressed by this program. These indicators will seek to identify where transportation demand management has been incorporated into municipal plans and operations, and the number of municipalities that add or enhance commitments in their plans and operations. Transportation demand management professionals will be asked to identify the extent to which they increased their knowledge and their ability to implement and measure their initiatives due to program activities. The usefulness of the tools developed by the program will also be measured. The feedback from participants will also be gathered from ecomobility learning activities and information dissemination activities.

Final Outcome:

• Reductions in energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants from transportation.

The program is forecasting a greenhouse gas reduction of 0.11 megatonnes in 2012. This final outcome will be measured in 2011-2012.

Results Achieved in 2010-2011

The ecomobility Program continued to provide funding to 13 projects (one project withdrew) in 13 communities across Canada. Two were completed by the end of March 2011 and the remaining 11 are well underway and are gearing up for their final year as projects are to be completed by December 31, 2011. In 2010-2011, the program also continued to develop tools and resources needed to support the implementation of transportation demand management projects and build national capacity. Some of the new resources published include Changing Transportation Behaviours: A Social Marketing Planning Guide; Bicycle End-of-Trip Facilities: A guide for Canadian municipalities and employers; and the Compendium of Canadian survey research on consumer attitudes and behavioural influences affecting sustainable transportation options, all of which can be found on Transport Canada’s Urban Information Network along with the dozen case studies and issue papers published this year. Learning events such as conferences are another forum for disseminating information resources; the ecomobility Program was represented at seven conferences through conference sessions, workshops, speakers and/or an ecomobility booth. In addition, the program hosted six webinars that attracted approximately 500 participants.

The 13 projects funded under the program are subject to an extensive measurement approach based on reductions in distance travelled and fuel used. In 2010-2011 ecomobility completed the development of its measurement strategy. The strategy includes gathering and analyzing data, and estimating the increased penetration of relevant urban transportation practices. The program is planning on deploying a questionnaire to collect feedback from key stakeholders to help evaluate the intermediate outcomes of the program. Based on this, greenhouse gas and criteria air contaminant reductions will be estimated. Actual greenhouse gas emission reductions will be known in 2012, after the funded projects have provided their final report and after the results measurement strategy has been fully implemented.

Expected Results for 2010-2011 for ecotechnology for Vehicles

Immediate Outcome:

• Informed positions on policies and programs influencing transportation technologies and practices.
• Increased uptake of technologies that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gases or criteria air contaminants.
• Increased participation of the target audience in emission-reducing activities through partnerships and other program activities.
• Increased capacity of the target audience to undertake initiatives that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants, or the release of toxic substances.

Informed positions on policies and programs influencing transportation technologies and practices will be supported in 2010-2011 by the program’s extensive testing and evaluation of advanced vehicle technologies in Canada. The program will work in collaboration with vehicle manufacturers to acquire and test eight to 10 advanced light-duty vehicles in 2010-2011 — including clean diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, full electric and fuel cell vehicles. These key technologies range from near-term availability in the market (clean diesel, advanced gasoline technologies) to medium-term introduction (electric and plug-in electric hybrid technologies) to longer-term introduction (hydrogen and fuel cell technologies). Test results will evaluate the safety and environmental performance of a range of emerging technologies. This will be used to inform policies, programs, emergent codes and standards, and the program’s outreach activities to reduce barriers to the uptake of these technologies.

The program will also work in collaboration with industry to identify and help address barriers to the adoption of promising technologies for use in Canada, including consumers’ awareness and acceptance of advanced technologies. This will increase the participation of vehicle manufacturers and technology suppliers in educating the Canadian public on emerging emission-reducing vehicle technologies.

The program will continue to draw upon the results of its testing and industry partnerships to disseminate the results of vehicle technology testing and evaluation to Canadians, to promote acceptance and adoption of technology. This will include technical information provided at over 15 public events across Canada; an updated and interactive website with over 60 advanced technology articles and 10 videos; a quarterly public newsletter; and an "edukit"/virtual program that provides resources to secondary school teachers to help them add clean vehicle technology information to the curriculum. The selected program audience targets Canadian men and women who will purchase a vehicle in one to 10 years’ time and who fit pre-determined psychographics. Activity outcomes will be measured using Web metrics, newsletter subscriptions, event attendance and event exit evaluations. Through increased exposure to performance information from a credible, neutral government source, it is anticipated that the targeted Canadian audience will increase its capacity to understand and adopt vehicles with targeted advanced technologies over the near and medium term.

Intermediate Outcome:

• Use of transportation technologies that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants.

The program measurement strategy will be implemented in 2010-2011 to collect information on the immediate and intermediate outcomes of the program. This will include an assessment of the increased penetration of specific advanced vehicle technologies in the Canadian fleet of light-duty vehicles, using the department’s Vehicle Fuel Economy Information System in 2011.

Final Outcome:

• Reductions in energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants from transportation.

The program is forecasting a greenhouse gas reduction of 0.15 megatonnes in 2011. This final outcome will be measured in 2011-2012 using a methodology that includes analyzing market sales data and estimating the increased penetration of relevant advanced vehicle technologies. Based on this, greenhouse gas and criteria air contaminant reductions will be estimated using fuel efficiency data provided by the Fuel Consumption Guide and driving profiles available from the Canadian Transportation Survey.

Results Achieved in 2010-2011

In 2010-2011, the program worked in partnership with industry to acquire, test and evaluate 25 advanced low rolling resistance tires; a Ford Fiesta clean diesel vehicle; a Zero S Electric motorcycle; and a Roush Liquid Propane Gas Retrofit Module installed in a Ford E-150 Econoline van. In addition, the program also developed an extensive electric vehicle strategy, in collaboration with industry, to test and evaluate the performance of several electric vehicles in unique Canadian conditions, including two Mitsubishi iMiEVs, a Tesla Roadster and an A123Systems Hymotion L5 plug-in conversion module installed in a Toyota Prius. Test results for ecotechnology for Vehicles are among the first sets of data detailing the environmental performance of electric vehicles in cold weather conditions.

The program shared these test results with, and participated in, standards development committees and working groups to support the development of new energy consumption and efficiency testing procedures for plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles. In addition, the program supported Canadian efforts to modernize the Canadian Electrical Code to reduce regulatory barriers to the introduction of electric vehicles in Canada. New test procedures for plug-in hybrids were published in 2011, and test procedures for electric vehicles was published in July 2011. In addition, the Canadian Electrical Code will be amended to include electric vehicles in 2011.

By sharing test results, ecotechnology for Vehicles has helped inform and support the development of non-regulatory codes and standards that industry requires to commercialize new technologies in Canada, facilitating the uptake of technologies that reduce energy consumption, and emissions of greenhouse gases and criteria air contaminants. In addition, testing results have helped develop government consumer information programs for these technologies by ensuring that decision makers have access to accurate and independent data.

In 2010-2011, the program undertook a number of educational partnership and outreach activities to enhance Canadians’ knowledge about the environmental and performance benefits of advanced technologies. These activities helped the program’s target audience engage in emission-reducing activities, specifically by helping increase their adoption of advanced vehicle technologies. For example:

• The program’s public website (www.tc.gc.ca/eTV) was updated with new educational and interactive features, including five videos on key program test results, seven interactive animations, a technical photo gallery and seven new technology articles.
• The program worked in partnership with industry to produce the video "The Life Electric" and an electric vehicles primer booklet, both of which provide a high-level overview of electric vehicles, and how government, industry and power utilities are working to prepare for their introduction in Canada.
• The ecotechnology for Vehicles program expanded its media outreach strategy by hosting several technical information sessions and demonstration events for members of the automotive press. As a result, over 25 technical articles about advanced technologies were published in major daily newspapers, websites and blogs across Canada, reaching several hundred thousand Canadians.
• The ecotechnology for Vehicles program completed its project with the Canada Science and Technology Museum to develop educational tools in 2010-2011, including an "edukit" / virtual program, to help secondary school teachers integrate lessons about advanced vehicles and the environment into their curricula.

On March 24, 2011, the program hosted the first Government of Canada Advanced Vehicle Technology Forum. The forum gathered representatives from several federal government departments and provided an opportunity for ecotechnology for Vehicles to present program test results to federal stakeholders in order to support program, policy and regulatory developments.

In 2010-2011 ecotechnology for Vehicles also completed the development of its measurement strategy. The strategy includes gathering and analyzing market sales data and estimating the increased penetration of relevant advanced vehicle technologies. In 2011-2012, the program is planning on deploying a questionnaire to collect feedback from key stakeholders to help evaluate the intermediate outcomes of the program. Based on this, greenhouse gas and criteria air contaminant reductions will be estimated using fuel efficiency data provided by the Fuel Consumption Guide and driving profiles available from the Canadian Transportation Survey. Actual results of the program will be known once the program results measurement strategy has been completed.

Expected Results for 2010-2011 for the National Harmonization Initiative for the Trucking Industry

The National Harmonization Initiative for the Trucking Industry was established to identify and promote solutions to barriers currently slowing the uptake of emission-reduction technologies in the Canadian trucking industry. It was designed to support provinces and territories in their efforts towards regulatory harmonization supporting emission-reduction technologies in the trucking sector.

Immediate Outcome:

• Informed positions on policies and programs influencing transportation technologies and practices.
• Increased uptake of technologies that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants.
• Increased participation of the target audience in emission-reducing activities through partnerships and other program activities.
• Increased capacity of the target audience to undertake initiatives that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants, or the release of toxic substances.

The program has successfully supported the move by Ontario and Quebec to mandate the use of speed limiters for heavy trucks. Although other provinces have also expressed an interest in heavy truck speed limiters, and information will continue to be provided, further regulatory activity on speed limiters is not anticipated within the 2010-2011 time frame.

In 2010-2011, information will be shared with provinces and governments from the ongoing testing of emerging environmental technologies to verify their environmental performance and compliance with regulatory requirements for on-road operation. For example, the program will assess the fuel efficiency improvements and regulatory compliance with safety standards of rear trailer fairings (boat tails) for on-road use in all jurisdictions by Canadian fleets. This is expected to remove barriers to the increased uptake of technologies that reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the trucking industry.

Intermediate Outcome / Final Outcome:

• Use of transportation technologies and alternative modes that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants.
• Reductions in energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants from transportation.

Increases in the use of specific technologies that reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gas and criteria air contaminants in the trucking sector will be evaluated through the ecofreight demonstration and incentive programs. The National Harmonization Initiative for the Trucking Industry is one of six initiatives under the ecofreight Program that are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a total of 1.25 megatonnes in 2011. This final outcome will be measured in 2010-2011.

Results Achieved in 2010-2011

Consistent with previous studies assessing the fuel efficiency improvements and regulatory compliance with safety standards of truck environmental technologies, two additional studies were completed. The results are currently being reviewed.

• Winter traction performance of low rolling resistance tires for heavy-duty tractor trailers: Transport Canada investigated the effects that low rolling resistance tires certified by SmartWay (California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board regulations) [have on winter traction performance of tractor trailers that also operate in cold weather climates such as Canada’s by conducting controlled dynamic performance track testing of a loaded heavy-duty tractor trailer in winter conditions. Two full sets of low rolling resistance tires were evaluated against one full set of control tires.
• Side skirts: The department reviewed the aerodynamic performance of commercially available side skirts and wheel covers, including any side effects on both drum and disc brake cooling of redistributed airflow. The ability of side skirts to provide side under run protection to vulnerable road users such as cyclists was also assessed by controlled impact testing of bicycles colliding into side skirts.

Expected Results for 2010-2011 for the Freight Technology Demonstration Fund

The Freight Technology Demonstration Fund has supported the purchase, installation and demonstration of the effectiveness of new and underused emission-reducing technologies in the freight industry.

Immediate Outcome:

• Informed positions on policies and programs influencing transportation technologies and practices.
• Increased uptake of technologies that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants.
• Increased participation of the target audience in emission-reducing activities through partnerships and other program activities.
• Increased capacity of the target audience to undertake initiatives that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants, or the release of toxic substances.

The Freight Technology Demonstration Fund has supported industry projects to purchase, install and demonstrate new and underused emission-reducing technologies in the freight industry. These projects will demonstrate technology such as common rail fuel injection, variable-speed gantry container cranes at a port; ultra low-emitting Genset locomotives for yard and road switching; multiple truck technologies (aerodynamic trailer skirts, base flaps, auxiliary power units and single wide-base tires); truck on-board computers and hybrid reefer technology; and an engineless (non-petroleum) auxiliary power unit. These technologies offer promise to contribute to both economic and environmental objectives, as reducing fuel use is vital to the productivity and competitiveness of the transportation industry, as well as to reducing emissions. As of December 2009, 12 demonstration projects are proceeding with total committed funding of $4.1 million.

In 2010-2011, the program will receive information from completed technology projects and disseminate the results to industry through events, case studies and other products that explain the business case for the tested technologies and increase the capacity of industry to take advantage of successful technologies. The ecofreight program will participate in at least four events in Canada to enable the transfer of knowledge acquired from demonstration projects to the broader industry. Events will consist of freight industry conferences, annual general meetings and trade shows where ecofreight program staff will participate along with industry partners. The ecofreight Web-based Information Network will be a key outreach tool and will be enhanced in 2010-2011 with published demonstration results achieved by specific companies and other information enabling the transfer of knowledge to industry. This will broaden the participation of members of the freight industry in emission-reducing activities and technology uptake beyond the initial funding recipients.

Intermediate Outcome:

• Use of transportation technologies and alternative modes that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants.
• Use of transportation best practices that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants.

The final stage of the program measurement strategy will be initiated in 2010-2011 to collect information on the outcomes of the program. Indicators have been developed to measure changes in the uptake, awareness and acceptance of new and underused energy-efficient freight technologies supported by the program. Freight transportation professionals and technology suppliers/users will identify the extent to which they increased their knowledge, and their ability to implement and use energy-efficient technologies due to program activities. The usefulness of case studies developed by the program will also be measured.

Final Outcome:

• Reductions in energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants from transportation.

The Freight Technology Demonstration Fund is one of six initiatives under the ecofreight programs that are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1.25 megatonnes in 2011. This final outcome will be measured in 2010-2011.

Results Achieved in 2010-2011

In 2010-2011, the Freight Technology Demonstration Fund helped mitigate barriers to a broader adoption of technologies in the freight industry by finalizing the establishment of 12 cost-shared demonstration projects to test and measure new and underused freight transportation technologies in real-world conditions. These projects took place across Canada, in each transportation mode.

The Freight Technology Demonstration Fund activities focused on completing and measuring the emissions results of the projects funded under the program, and disseminating those project results to industry. In conjunction with the Freight Technology Incentives Program, the Freight Technology Demonstration Fund developed over 30 different information-sharing products, including webinars, technology case studies, greenhouse gas calculators and success stories. These products are available on the program’s website to inform stakeholders of the benefits of green freight technologies. In addition, a newsletter was developed and directly distributed to over 800 freight industry stakeholders to further stimulate technology adoption.

The 12 projects funded under the Freight Technology Demonstration Fund programs are subject to extensive greenhouse gas emission measurement approaches based on reductions in fuel consumption through the use of clean technology. The impact of the program will be assessed through a series of information-gathering exercises for which measurement strategies were developed. These include project results analysis and approaches to collect the information such as questionnaires to stakeholders. Actual program emissions reductions will be available once the program’s results measurement has been completed in 2011-2012.

Expected Results for 2010-2011 for the Freight Technology Incentives Program

The Freight Technology Incentives Program has provided incentives for companies to purchase and install proven freight transportation technologies that reduce greenhouse gas and/or criteria air contaminants.

Immediate Outcome:

• Informed positions on policies and programs influencing transportation technologies and practices.
• Increased uptake of technologies that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants.
• Increased participation of the target audience in emission-reducing activities through partnerships and other program activities.
• Increased capacity of the target audience to undertake initiatives that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants, or the release of toxic substances.

The Freight Technology Incentives Program has supported industry projects to purchase and install available freight transportation technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and/or criteria air contaminants. These contribution funds to industry support the purchase and installation of a mix of technologies that include: ultra low-emitting Genset locomotive technology, alternative fuel for baggage tractors, refurbishing marine engines with the latest fuel-efficient technology, bundled advanced truck technologies (e.g., aerodynamic truck technologies, advanced auxiliary power technologies for trucks, single tire technologies and long combination vehicle options for trucks). These technologies offer promise to meet both economic and environmental objectives, as reducing fuel use and emissions is vital to productivity and competitiveness of the industry.

In 2010-2011, the program will receive information from completed technology projects and disseminate the results to industry through events, case studies and other products that explain the business case for the tested technologies and increase the capacity of industry to take advantage of successful technologies. The ecofreight programs will participate in at least four events in Canada to enable the transfer of knowledge acquired from demonstration projects to the broader industry. Events will consist of freight industry conferences, annual general meetings and trade shows where ecofreight program staff will participate along with industry partners. The ecofreight Web-based Information Network will be a key outreach tool and will be enhanced in 2010-2011 with published demonstration results achieved by specific companies and other information enabling the transfer of knowledge to industry. This will broaden the participation of members of the freight industry in emission-reducing activities and technology uptake beyond the initial funding recipients.

Intermediate Outcome:

• Use of transportation technologies and alternative modes that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants.

The final stage of the program measurement strategy will be initiated in 2010-2011 to collect information on the outcomes of the program, including uptake in the industry of technology addressed by this program. Indicators have been developed to measure changes in the uptake, awareness and acceptance of energy-efficient freight technologies supported by the program. Freight transportation professionals and technology suppliers/users will provide information on the extent to which they increased their knowledge and their ability to implement and use energy-efficient technologies due to program activities. The usefulness of case studies developed by the program will also be measured.

Final Outcome:

• Reductions in energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants from transportation.

The Freight Technology Incentives Program is one of six initiatives under the ecofreight Program that are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1.25 megatonnes in 2011. This final outcome will be measured in 2010-2011.

Results Achieved in 2010-2011

In 2010-2011, the Freight Technology Incentives Program helped mitigate barriers to broader adoption of technologies in the freight industry by finalizing the establishment of 26 cost-shared projects to purchase and install proven freight transportation technologies. These projects took place across Canada, in each transportation mode.

Freight Technology Incentives Program activities focused on completing and measuring the emissions results of the projects funded under the program and disseminating those project results to industry. In conjunction with the Freight Technology Demonstration Fund, over 30 different information-sharing products were developed, including webinars, technology case studies, greenhouse gas calculators and success stories. These products are available on the program’s website to inform stakeholders of the benefits of green freight technologies. In addition, one newsletter was developed and directly distributed to over 800 freight industry stakeholders to further stimulate technology adoption.

The 26 projects funded under the Freight Technology Demonstration Fund programs are subject to extensive greenhouse gas emission measurement approaches, based on reductions in fuel consumption through the use of clean technology. The impact of the program will be assessed through a series of information-gathering exercises for which measurement strategies were developed. These include project results analysis and approaches to collect the information, such as questionnaires to stakeholders. Actual program emission reductions will be available once the program’s results measurement has been completed in 2011-2012.

In 2010-2011, the Marine Shore Power Program will complete its $2.0-million investment in a marine shore power facility at Port Metro Vancouver. This $9-million project demonstrates the use of shore-based power for marine vessels in Canadian ports to reduce air pollution from idling ship engines and will be in operation for a second cruise season in 2010-2011. The emissions impact and business case will continue to be measured as part of the demonstration project. The Marine Shore Power Program will support an additional demonstration project for completion in 2011-2012.

Information collected through these demonstration projects will improve the industry’s knowledge of the funding required to build this type of infrastructure, as well as the emissions reduction that can be expected, and the partnerships necessary to deliver shore power (e.g., with an electricity provider). It will also document the business case for this technology at Canadian ports. These are necessary resources if Canadian ports are to develop the capacity to implement shore power on a wider scale.

Intermediate Outcome:

• Use of transportation technologies and alternative modes that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants.

The program’s measurement strategy will be initiated in 2010-2011 to collect information on the outcomes of the program with respect to increased take-up and capacity for marine shore power in Canada. Indicators have been developed to measure changes in the uptake, awareness and acceptance of technology approaches supported by the program. These indicators will measure the extent to which port professionals and technology suppliers/users increased their knowledge and their ability to implement shore power technologies. The usefulness of case studies developed by the program will also be measured.

Final Outcome:

• Reductions in energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants from transportation.

The Marine Shore Power Program is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by .008 megatonnes in 2012. This final outcome will be measured in 2011-2012.

Results Achieved in 2010-2011

The main barriers to implementing marine shore power in Canadian ports include the initial cost of these installations for port and terminal operators, the lack of experience in Canada with this technology and the lack of a proven business case for shore power in the freight industry.

The Marine Shore Power Program helped overcome barriers to implementing marine shore power by providing financial contributions for two selected projects. The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority was selected to build a marine shore power installation for cruise ships at the east and west berth at its Canada Place facility. The second project was announced in September 2010. The Prince Rupert Port Authority project is eligible to receive up to $1.8 million from Transport Canada for the demonstration of shore power technology for container ships at its Fairview Terminal.

In 2010-2011, Marine Shore Power Program activities focused on initiating the Prince Rupert project and developing information-sharing products, including a video that shows how shore power works for cruise ships and provides the project partners’ perspective through insightful interviews. This video will be uploaded to the Transport Canada website, and will be available for showing at trade shows and conferences to disseminate information.

In its final year, the program’s activities will focus on completing the monitoring of the Prince Rupert Project, disseminating project results to industry to mitigate the information barriers to the adoption of marine shore technology and initiating the program’s performance assessment. The program’s final report will be available in 2012-2013 once the program is complete and its results have been measured.

In 2010-2011, the ecofreight Partnerships program will contribute to the 2010 Canadian Industrial Transportation Association’s annual survey of Canadian industry to better understand the Association’s environmental practices and decision making with respect to transportation. This annual survey, which will have generated five years of consecutive information and trends by 2010-2011, helps understand the drivers for industry decision making, as well as industry’s knowledge of the environmental impacts of its decisions and the mitigating options that it can take.

The program will support at least three events with the freight transportation industry and/or industry shippers to transfer knowledge and information on emission-reducing technologies and best practices. With this knowledge, users will be better able to include environmental impacts in the decision-making process when selecting between modes and carriers during their freight transportation decisions. The program will sponsor at least one industry award to recognize industry environmental leaders with respect to transportation and to promote their best practices to their peers.

Overall, the program will develop and disseminate information and tools to stakeholders, including freight shippers and forwarders, to increase awareness of sustainable transportation options. This program will support several outcomes, including increased knowledge and opportunities for uptake of technologies that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas and criteria air contaminants, as well as increased capacity of the target audience to undertake initiatives that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminant emissions and increased participation of the freight industry in emission-reduction activities.

In 2010-2011, Transport Canada will continue to provide an increased presence in international committees, working groups and other international transportation fora with a dedicated focus on emission reduction (e.g., the International Civil Aviation Organization, International Maritime Organization, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, International Transport Forum and Commission for Environmental Cooperation). Transport Canada will also continue to provide support to the international development of environmental standards, practices and guidelines, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants, and the improved efficiency of the aviation and marine sectors under the auspices of the International Maritime Organization and the International Civil Aviation Organization.

These initiatives will contribute to more informed positions on policies and programs influencing transportation technologies and practices; and to the dissemination and use of transportation best practices that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas and criteria air contaminants.

Transport Canada will continue to support implementing the voluntary memorandum of understanding with the Railway Association of Canada, in effect until 2010, that identifies commitments by the Canadian railway companies to reduce greenhouse gas and criteria air contaminant emissions on a voluntary basis.

Transport Canada will continue to collaborate with domestic aviation industry organizations, including the Air Transport Association of Canada and National Airlines Council of Canada. This initiative supports the industry’s efforts to reduce emissions and improve fleet and fuel efficiency, and the uptake of new technologies and best practices with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas and criteria air contaminants.

Final Outcome:

• Reductions in energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants from transportation.

The ecofreight Partnerships program is one of six initiatives under the ecofreight Program that is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1.25 megatonnes in total in 2011. This final outcome will be measured in 2010-2011.

Results Achieved in 2010-2011

The Canadian freight transportation sector faces a considerable challenge in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants. The ecofreight Partnerships program has established a partnership with the freight industry and the international community to address this challenge in order to:

• contribute to more informed positions on policies and programs influencing transportation technologies and practices that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas and criteria air contaminants;
• increase uptake of technologies that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants;
• increase participation of the target audience in emission-reducing activities through partnerships and other program activities; and
• increase the capacity of the target audience to undertake initiatives that reduce energy consumption, or greenhouse gas or criteria air contaminants, or the release of toxic substances.

The ecofreight Partnerships program has an overarching role in the suite of ecofreight programs in contributing to mitigate the barriers to adopting new and proven technologies and practices in the freight transportation sector by engaging freight industry leaders to improve fleet and fuel efficiency, and increase their uptake of new technologies and best practices, with the goal of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and criteria air contaminants.

More specifically, the program had an opportunity to create greater awareness and seek support within the Canadian freight transportation industry by distributing the information gained from the funded projects of the Freight Technology Demonstration Fund and the Freight Technology Incentives Program. It achieved this by distributing its newsletter to 950 freight industry stakeholders; by sharing the success stories of the industry in reducing its environmental footprint; and by supporting events such as the Low Carbon Shipping panel at the globe 2010 event in Vancouver, the Sustainable Rail Initiatives and Research panel at the Rail Association of Canada’s North American Rail Summit 2010 in Montreal and a webinar on ecofreight intermodal freight initiatives in Canada.

The program recognized the industry’s effort to reduce emissions by sponsoring the Green Supply Chain Award (awarded annually at the Supply Chain & Logistics Association Canada and Canadian Industrial Transportation Association’s Annual Conference) that was awarded to Bison Transport.

The ecofreight programs also added four more tools to their website to support the freight transportation industry’s efforts to reduce emissions, including a link to the jointly developed Checklist for Green Transportation Options for Shippers and Freight Forwarders (hosted on the Supply Chain and Logistics Association Canada website).

The program also built and maintained partnerships within the transportation sector to reduce emissions from transportation through voluntary actions that can support the regulatory framework through the memoranda of understanding with the Railway Association of Canada and with the aviation sector. Both reported encouraging results.

The intensity of rail industry greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 23.3 percent in 2008 compared with the 1990 baseline. The 2009 locomotive emissions monitoring report will be released in 2011. This memorandum of understanding expired December 31, 2010.

In the air industry, between 1990 and 2009, the average annual fuel efficiency improvement in litres per total revenue-tonne-kilometre was 1.9 percent, surpassing the target of 1.1 percent improvement per year that was established by the aviation memorandum of understanding. Fuel intensity per revenue-tonne-kilometre also fell by 30 percent between 1990 and 2009, compared to the memorandum of understanding target of 24 percent cumulative improvement to be achieved by 2012.

Through the ecofreight Partnerships program, Transport Canada continued its presence at international fora and on international committees, resulting in more informed positions on policies and programs influencing transportation decision making in Canada; fostering of key relationships with other nations; and the sharing of information and best practices related to the reduction of emissions. Transport Canada had integral input into the development of negotiating positions, measures, standards, regulations, action plans, declarations and outcome statements.

Financial support

• The "Retire Your Ride" program will continue to run in every province, delivered by a network of not-for-profit organizations coordinated by Summerhill Impact (formerly Clean Air Foundation). The goal is to retire at least 50,000 old vehicles annually, representing a smog reduction of about 2,250 tonnes.
• Canadians who own older vehicles (1995 and earlier models) will be encouraged to retire them and to choose from a range of attractive rewards such as free transit passes; rebates on bicycles; memberships in car-sharing programs; and rebates on the purchase of a new vehicle offered by vehicle manufacturers.
• Real-time program results are tracked using a national database.

Outreach

• Regional program delivery agents will promote Retire Your Ride through local outreach activities.
• The second wave of a public awareness campaign will be implemented by the Canadian Urban Transit Association, with contribution funding from Environment Canada. Posters will be displayed on buses and bus shelters across the country.

Partnership and network

• An exhibit on vehicle recycling and sustainable transportation will be on display at the Biosphere, and smaller, travelling versions of the exhibit will be displayed in one or two other Canadian museums.

Guidelines and agreements

• To ensure responsible recycling of vehicles, all vehicle recyclers participating in the Retire Your Ride program will adhere to the National Code of Practice that outlines the legal requirements and best environmental management practices before, during and after vehicle recycling.
• Up to 350 audits will be conducted through on-site visits to participating vehicle recyclers to verify their compliance with the code of practice.

Results Achieved in 2010-2011

The Retire Your Ride program achieved or surpassed its expected achievements in 2010-2011. Just over 70,000 vehicles were retired, resulting in an estimated reduction of 2,550 tonnes of smog-forming emissions. Canadians in every province were offered one of a selection of rewards for retiring their older vehicles, including $300 cash, free transit passes, bicycle rebates and car-sharing memberships. The cash reward is the most popular reward, selected by 92 percent of participants. In addition, vehicle manufacturers continued to offer vehicle rebates ranging in value from $500 to $3,000 on the purchase of one of their new vehicles.

The program was successfully promoted through outreach activities, national advertising, public relations initiatives, and a public awareness campaign on buses and bus shelters.

The department audited 348 vehicle recyclers for adherence to the code of practice for vehicle recycling and only 3 percent of these recyclers failed this audit and had to leave the program.

Comments on Variances:

Transport Canada

1. The Coordination Fund was not fully subscribed in 2010-2011, as the final transfers did not take place due to Parliament dissolving.
2. Due to pressures related to critical marine security projects, including the Emergency Management and Quality Management System, Transport Canada reallocated $1.2 million to cover these initiatives.
3. Costs related to the Marine Transportation Security Clearance Program were less than originally anticipated.
4. Great Lakes Marine Security Operations Centre costs were less than originally anticipated due to staffing delays.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and the Canadian Coast Guard

1. Additional Fleet Operations: N/A
2. Automatic Identification and Long-Range Identification and Tracking: The contractor replaced the subcontractor that formed part of the original winning bid due to technical issues with its software. This has caused a one-year delay in the delivery of the system. The delivery of the complete and compliant system will not occur until the end of 2011-2012.
3. The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway Marine Security Operations Centre: One million dollars was carried forward from 2010-2011 to 2011-2012. The Great Lakes Marine Security Operations Centre was declared 24/7 by the Canadian Coast Guard in April 2011. This and relocation costs being lower than expected contributed to the carry-forward.
4. Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway Marine Security Enforcement Teams: An unanticipated additional $1.19 million was spent for the Marine Security Enforcement Teams program due to fuel prices, secure tactical radios and unforeseen refit costs.
5. Acquisition of Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway Mid-Shore Patrol Vessels: The variance of $2.78 million is due to an adjustment to the 2010-2011 budget to meet production milestones.
6. Enhanced Conservation and Protection Aerial Surveillance Flights: N/A

National Defence

Sections a & b

Variance:

1. Marine Security Operations Centre Vote 5: Funds were conserved as contingency for delays in receiving Environmental Protection Agency approval in case the project was adversely affected by an election.
2. Marine Security Operations Centre Vote 1: The centres are currently being staffed, and the Capability Management Organization for future capability support has not yet been formed.

Name of Lead Department(s): Transport Canada

Lead Department Program Activity: Gateways and Corridors

Start Date: October 19, 2006

End Date: March 31, 2014

Total Federal Funding Allocation (from start date to end date): $1.045 billion

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement): The Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative is intended to strengthen Canada’s competitive position in global commerce. It is an integrated package of investment and policy measures that will advance the capacity and efficiency of the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor into North America. It reflects the Government of Canada’s undertaking to work in partnership with provincial governments, the private sector and other stakeholders to further develop and exploit Western Canada’s geographic advantage and strong transportation system. The initiative seeks to establish Canada’s Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor as the best transportation network facilitating global supply chains between North America and Asia.

Shared Outcome(s): The following are planned shared outcomes and activities for the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative.

Key themes include:

• gateway capacity: strategic infrastructure investments and network improvements;
• competitiveness: increase Canada’s share of Asia-Pacific commerce;
• efficiency and reliability: improve the movement of goods throughout supply chains;
• security and border efficiency: establish a secure and efficient transportation network linking Canadian and North American markets; and
• regulatory framework: integrate policy frameworks and regulations that address new approaches to governance.

Ultimate Outcome:

• Boost Canada’s commerce with the Asia-Pacific region.
• Increase the Gateway’s share of North America-bound container imports from Asia.
• Improve the efficiency and reliability of the Gateway for Canadian and North American exports and imports.
• Ensure travel routes are safe, open to through traffic and minimize environmental impacts.

Governance Structure(s): The Minister for the Pacific Gateway is the champion for this initiative, with support in this effort provided by Transport Canada. The Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities is accountable for the management of resources in the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Transportation Infrastructure Fund. These two ministers are jointly responsible for the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative.

The Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative is a horizontal initiative, and its development and implementation involve a number of other key federal departments/agencies. While each is ultimately accountable for its own programs/activities and associated resources from the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative fund, the implicated federal departments/agencies are also responsible for contributing to the overarching objectives of the initiative. All federal partners are accountable for the day-to-day management of their respective component of the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative. Furthermore, each department/agency is expected to provide regular updates to the two lead ministers, through the director general-level Interdepartmental Steering Committee on the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative.

An overall horizontal performance framework has been prepared in collaboration with all the departments/agencies involved in the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative. This framework will provide a sound, coordinated and ongoing performance measurement and evaluation strategy to assess the overall process in implementing the initiative. Partner departments and their role in the initiative are as follows:

Transport Canada

Transport Canada, as the lead department, reports to the Minister for the Pacific Gateway and to the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. Transport Canada’s Policy Group is responsible for the ongoing coordination, management, integration, and strategic development and implementation of the initiative overall. Other federal departments and agencies, the four western provinces and stakeholders from the private sector are consulted and involved in building consensus on decisions related to the initiative.

Transport Canada is also responsible for the management of the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Transportation Infrastructure Fund, whose primary objective is to address capacity challenges facing the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor. The projects funded under the fund will enhance the competitiveness, efficiency and capacity of Canada’s multimodal transportation network and will be focused specifically on the movement of international commerce between the Asia-Pacific region and North America.

While transportation infrastructure is at its core, the initiative also focuses on interconnected issues that impact on the further development and exploitation of the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor. Transport Canada has completed a number of non infrastructure / competitiveness measures and is currently engaged in many others, including:

• a policy renewal agenda to examine policy issues that directly impact the efficiency of the transportation infrastructure that defines the Gateway and Corridor, or its exploitation;
• a security review to assess issues related specifically to the Gateway’s reputation and performance;
• roundtable events across western provinces and an international conference to advance understanding of the long-term challenges and opportunities of the Gateway by tapping into Canadian and international academic expertise;
• the integration of the three major ports in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland to improve efficiency and capacity;
• support for the establishment of the Lower Mainland Trucking Forum to make recommendations, on a consensus basis, on methods for improving the efficiency of trucking operations at Vancouver ports; and
• studies directly related to the Gateway’s operations and efficiency, to better understand and improve the multimodal infrastructure network and increase the productivity of the full supply chain.

Foreign Affairs and International Trade

The Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Pacific Gateway International Marketing Group is responsible for the ongoing development and implementation of an international marketing strategy in coordination with all stakeholders. The objective is to promote greater use of the Gateway as the Asia-Pacific travel and supply chain route of choice for North American and Asia-Pacific importers, exporters, investors and transportation companies.

Key missions abroad are actively engaged in advancing Canada as the gateway and corridor of choice through dialogue with transportation companies, producers, exporters and/or importers in each of their respective regions to showcase the strengths of the Canadian transportation network. These missions encourage investment and technology transfer, play an advocacy role on key Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative issues such as security and border efficiency; provide intelligence back to Canada to support policy development; and help determine what messages resonate in their markets.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade has established a core group of trade commissioners from Asia-Pacific and North American missions who understand the Gateway and the opportunities it presents for Canada’s economy and are, thereby, able to support the government’s objective of establishing Canada as the gateway and corridor of choice between North America and the Asia-Pacific region.

Canada Border Services Agency

The Canada Border Services Agency is responsible for the implementation of a marine container inspection operation located at the Port of Prince Rupert. The marine container inspection operation allows the Canada Border Services Agency to develop operations to ensure containers arriving from other countries are properly inspected by means of effective processes and state-of-the-art technology.

The Canada Border Services Agency’s marine container inspection operation plays a vital and strategic role, integrated within the overall Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative.

Parks Canada Agency

Parks Canada is responsible for the maintenance and recapitalization of highways that pass through national parks, including the Trans-Canada Highway. It is a major pan-Canadian highway that connects the West Coast and its Asia-Pacific linkages to the rest of Canada, especially markets in the western provinces.

Parks Canada is in the process of four-laning (twinning) the Trans-Canada Highway through the Banff National Park of Canada to improve capacity and efficiency. The funding provided by the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative will help ensure the timely completion of a congested 10-kilometre section of highway and hence support the initiative’s objective of improving the movement of goods through the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor.

It should be noted that funding is also being contributed from other sources for other sections of the Trans-Canada Highway twinning project.

Western Economic Diversification Canada

Western Economic Diversification Canada was responsible for two elements of the first phase of the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative: a business opportunities and awareness-raising initiative called "Seizing the Gateway Opportunity: Western Canada and the Asia-Pacific Challenge"; and funding of the dredging work on the Fraser River to maintain a competitive shipping channel.

As part of "Seizing the Gateway Opportunity," Western Economic Diversification Canada supported research on successful gateway economies and how best to capitalize on the long-term, value-added economic opportunities presented by the rise of the Asia-Pacific market; case studies of successful Canadian small and medium enterprises in the Asia-Pacific market; a Canadian presence at the China International Fair for Investment and Trade; a study tour of Western Canadian innovation capabilities by trade commissioners from Canadian posts in the Asia-Pacific region; and an assessment of community-level needs in Saskatchewan and Manitoba for doing business in and with Asia.

Western Economic Diversification Canada provided a $4-million grant over two years to the Fraser River Port Authority to support dredging activities on the Fraser River shipping channel. This funding provided the Fraser River Port Authority with the capacity to maintain its existing business and position itself to attract new business, thereby taking advantage of the Asia-Pacific Gateway opportunities. This temporary measure enabled the port to accommodate the increasingly large shipping vessels, until a long-term solution is developed that would provide for self-sustaining access to port facilities.

Human Resources and Skills Development Canada

Human Resources and Skills Development Canada is responsible for the Asia-Pacific Gateway Skills Table (Skills Table). Modelled on the Sector Council Program, the Skills Table was established in March 2008 to help address the skills and labour pressure issues related to the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative. The development of the Skills Table follows a one-year fast-track consultative and planning process designed to inform the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative’s future policy direction and investment decisions.

Human Resources and Skills Development Canada was provided with $3 million over four years through the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative to fund projects prioritized by the Skills Table. These funds will support projects in priority areas identified by the Skills Table. Human Resources and Skills Development Canada is providing an additional $2 million to support the establishment and operation of the Skills Table (total federal investment is $5 million).

The Skills Table acts as a clearinghouse, ensuring sharing of data, projects, timetables, strategies, recruitment and retention practices, and related ideas. It provides a focused forum to identify, coordinate and leverage investments to address skills issues related to the Asia-Pacific Gateway.

Performance Highlights: In 2010-2011, development of reliability indicators and performance metrics was completed. These indicators are intended to measure the reliability of transit times for containers originating from Asian ports through Asia-Pacific Gateway ports and beyond. The indicators will help quantify Canada’s international trade supply chain performance and will provide the starting point for targeting bottlenecks.

Dedicated funding under the Transportation Infrastructure Fund has been fully committed to strategic projects with six projects completed and four more under construction in 2010-2011. In addition, two contribution agreements/amendments were signed with Port Metro Vancouver and Corporation of Delta for 80th Street.

In 2010-2011, as part of the Asia-Pacific Skills Table, six projects were underway focusing on customizing and updating industry-certified programs in response to workplace skills requirements, workplace training, support and skills development, as well as comparative analysis of international best practices in gateway industries. This helps foster a stronger understanding and articulation of labour requirements in the Gateway.

In addition, promotion of Canada’s tax and duty advantages for international trade (including foreign trade zone-type programs) to public- and private-sector stakeholders continued, and a waiver of the 25-per-cent duty on imports of all general cargo vessels and tankers was announced.

International and domestic outreach continued with the second International Conference on Gateways and Corridors in November 2010, attracting renowned experts and practitioners from Canada and abroad, as well as the Chinese Minister of Transport. The conference was funded by Transport Canada and discussions provided new perspectives on key issues that will inform the further development of Canada’s Gateway strategies.

Several ministerial missions to Asia have helped build momentum and raise Canada’s profile internationally, further leveraging Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative international outreach efforts.

To better promote the advantages of the Asia-Pacific Gateway abroad, Transport Canada:

• launched a re-vamped Asia-Pacific Gateway website and interactive map to provide updates on the projects and initiative;
• launched a series of Pacific Gateway video vignettes ;
• updated Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative background materials and distributed Gateway Corridor News, Spring 2010 edition, an e-news update from the Minister on the Asia-Pacific Gateway to multiple domestic and international stakeholders; and
• released a report to Canadians on the progress of the initiative entitled Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative Reaches a Milestone.

[1] An error has been identified in the 2010-2011 Report on Plans and Priorities under the Horizontal Initiatives table for the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative. Transport Canada reports on planned spending for 2010-2011 as $3,200. This amount includes the figures already disclosed under the sections for Foreign Affairs and International Trade, and Human Resources and Skills Development Canada. Federal Department: Transport Canada should report Transport Canada numbers only and therefore planned spending for 2010-2011 is $1,995. Additionally, total allocation from start to end date should be reported as $12,348 and not $12,650.
