Transport Canada has four strategic outcomes that reflect the long-term and enduring benefits to Canadians that stem from its mandate and vision. As the department strives towards these outcomes, progress can be reported in relation to expected results [4], performance indicators [5] and targets [6], as set out in its Program Activity Architecture for 2012-2013.
The department uses qualitative and quantitative indicators, also called “performance measures”, to determine the results achieved in terms of strategic outcomes and expected results. Using a systematic method to develop, communicate, monitor and report performance information provides a uniform foundation to achieve these outcomes. In an effort to better report on results of activities, and to demonstrate value to Canadians, Transport Canada will continue to strengthen performance indicators in its Performance Measurement Framework.
This section provides detailed analysis of how the department plans to meet its expected results, and presents the financial and non-financial resources that will be dedicated to each program activity in the coming year. It also highlights some of Transport Canada’s initiatives that are included in the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy.
An efficient transportation system requires a strong and modern marketplace policy framework and infrastructure to strengthen Canada’s long term economic competitiveness. Work is ongoing to ensure that policy and legislative frameworks remain relevant and allow industry to respond to challenges and take advantage of opportunities for the future.
The federal government makes strategic infrastructure investments to ensure that funds are spent where they are most needed, to support economic growth, improve the quality of life of Canadians and better position Canada in the rapidly changing global marketplace. Transportation infrastructure initiatives create jobs, support trade and tourism, connect Canadians and attract investments. Canada promotes innovative financing arrangements for transportation infrastructure through public-private partnerships to spur innovation, better manage risks and leverage public investments to the greatest extent possible, given tight fiscal constraints in most jurisdictions.
Canada is a trading nation, and the efficiency and reliability of trade impacts directly on the nation’s prosperity and well being. As a result, it is imperative that the federal government play a role in the development of an integrated transportation network linking importers and exporters to markets and suppliers in the increasingly complex global value chains. Guided by the National Policy Framework for Strategic Gateways and Corridors, the Gateways and Corridors initiatives aim to support international commerce by creating a more efficient, reliable and seamless trade-related transportation system in Canada.
The demands of global trade, population growth, an aging demographic, and the effects of climate change require new and innovative solutions to keep Canada’s transportation system efficient, accessible and competitive. Investing in the right technologies, research and skills development will enable the transportation sector to continue to support trade, global competitiveness and national prosperity. In addition, the sector’s ability to enhance its innovative capacity will determine future improvements in transportation efficiency, safety, security, accessibility and environmental performance.
The following four program activities [7] support this strategic outcome:
