1) Name of Transfer Payment Program:  ecoTRANSPORT Strategy

 

2) Start Date:  March 29, 2007

 

3) End Date:  March 31, 2011
4) Description:  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 Environmental Agenda, this strategy features the ecoMOBILITY program; the ecoTECHNOLOGY for Vehicles Program and the ecoENERGY for Personal Vehicles Program; and the ecoFREIGHT program.  The ecoAUTO Rebate Program was introduced separately but is complementary to the programs for personal vehicles. 

 

  • The ecoMOBILITY program is a $10 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 will help develop programs, services and products that improve sustainable transportation options in urban areas.
  • The ecoTECHNOLOGY for Vehicles Program includes in-depth testing and showcasing of advanced technologies vehicles in order to raise awareness and 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, delivered by NRCan will provide fuel consumption information and decision-making tools to encourage consumers to purchase fuel-efficient vehicles that are currently available in the market.  Together these two programs have a combined funding of $36 million.
  • The ecoFREIGHT program, with $61 million in funding, features new steps to reduce the environmental and health effects of freight transportation through technology and will be delivered by Transport Canada and Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). These steps include addressing regulatory barriers, reducing fuel use and emissions, establishing a Freight Technology Demonstration Fund, providing cost-shared funding for the purchase and installation of proven technologies, building industry partnerships, and supporting up to four pilot projects to demonstrate the installation and use of shore-based power for marine vessels in Canadian ports.
  • The ecoAUTO Rebate Program is a $264 million program to provide performance-based rebates to consumers who purchase fuel-efficient vehicles. It requires eligible vehicles to meet a performance standard or fuel consumption rating.  This is intended as an interim measure to increase consumer purchases of more efficient advanced technology vehicles before the new fuel-efficiency standards take effect with model year 2011.

 

5) Strategic Outcome(s):  An environmentally responsible transportation system that contributes to Canada’s sustainable development objectives.

 

6) Expected Results: 
  • Increased opportunities and capacity for Canadian in urban areas to choose more sustainable transportation options with subsequent behaviour changes;
  • Increased opportunities and capacity for the Canadian freight industry to adopt new technologies/practices that have the potential to reduce emissions;
  • Improved the average fuel-efficiency for vehicles available in the Canadian market;
  • Reduced fuel consumption and energy use in the freight and personal vehicles sectors; and
  • Reduced air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions.
