Part A: Green Procurement Capacity Building

Activity	2008-09 Level as %	2010-11 Target as %	Description/Comments
1a. Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff	No targets set	In progress	Currently, only designated Materiel and Contracting Specialists have undertaken the online Green Procurement Course that is available through Campus Direct. It is the intention of the Department to encourage other departmental buyers, that is, those with Low Dollar Value (LDV) authority, to take the course as well. The Department is currently embarking on a new framework for LDV procurement that will centralize all such purchasing in one Finance organization. The expected full implementation is 2011. This will make it easier to ensure that all employees making purchases for the Department are trained in green procurement.
1b. Training for Acquisition Cardholders	No targets set	In progress	With the centralization of all LDV procurement in the future, it will be easy to ensure that acquisition card holders (greatly reduced in number as a result of centralization) have green procurement training.
2. Performance Evaluations	No targets set	In progress	The majority of services contracts awarded by the Department are for professional services. There are few green considerations when planning a contract for professional services (e.g., studies, audits, training). However, these considerations do come into play for the procurement of goods such as vehicles and photocopiers. Both of these procurements have strict green requirements that buyers must respect. Fleet life cycle management and criteria are available online (Intranet) for all fleet managers to consult.
3. Procurement Processes and Controls	No targets set	In progress	Transport Canada leads most other government departments in the procurement of alternate fuel vehicles and other environmentally friendly vehicles for its fleet. Transport Canada has successfully completed a pilot project to replace printers and photocopiers with multi-functional units on several floors in Tower C - NCR. The pilot is now beingexpanded to the remaining floors and to the Regions. The pilot project was so successful that Environment Canada has used TC as an example. Most of the paper that TC purchases is recycled or partly recycled. It is the Department's intention to make the procurement of recycled paper mandatory. (100% target).

Name of Horizontal Initiative: Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative

Name of lead department(s): Transport Canada (TC)

Lead department program activity: Gateways and Corridors

Start date of the Horizontal Initiative: October 19, 2006

End date of the Horizontal Initiative: March 31, 2014

Total federal funding allocation (start to end date): $ 1.045 billion

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement): The Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative (APGCI) 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, private sector leaders 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 movement of goods throughout supply chains;
• Security and border efficiency – establishing a secure and efficient transportation network linking Canadian and North American markets; and
• Integrative 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 American-bound container imports from Asia;
• Improve the efficiency and reliability of the Gateway for Canadian and North American exports and imports; and
• Ensure travel routes are safe, open to throughway 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 APGCI.

The APGCI 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 APGCI 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 APGCI. Furthermore, each department/agency is expected to provide regular updates to the two lead ministers, via a 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 (TC), as the lead department, reports to the Minister for the Pacific Gateway and to the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. TC's Policy Group is responsible for the on-going 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.

TC is also responsible for the management of the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Transportation Infrastructure Fund (TIF), whose primary objective is to address capacity challenges facing the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor. The projects funded under TIF will enhance the competitiveness, efficiency and capacity of Canada's multi-modal 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. TC has completed a number of non infrastructure / competitiveness measures, and is currently engaged in many others including:

• 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;
• 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 operations and efficiency, to better understand and improve the multi-modal infrastructure network and increase the productivity of the full supply chain.

Foreign Affairs and International Trade

The Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) 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 Asia-Pacific travel and supply chain route of choice for North American and Asia-Pacific importers, exporters, investors and transportation companies.

Key DFAIT 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 APGCI 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.

DFAIT 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 Asia-Pacific.

Canada Border Services Agency

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

CBSA'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 (TCH). The TCH 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 TCH through the Banff National Park of Canada to improve capacity and efficiency. The funding provided by the APGCI will help ensure the timely completion of a congested 10 km section of highway upgrading 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 this particular 10km section of road, as well as other sections of the TCH twinning project.

Western Economic Diversification Canada

Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD) was responsible for two elements of the first phase of the APGCI; a business opportunities and awareness raising initiative entitled “Seizing the Gateway Opportunity: Western Canada and the Asia-Pacific Challenge”, and funding dredging work on the Fraser River to maintain a competitive shipping channel.

As part of “Seizing the Gateway Opportunity”, WD supported research on successful gateway economies and how best to capitalize on the long-term value added economic opportunities presented by rise of the Asia-Pacific market; case studies of successful Canadian SMEs 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 Asia-Pacific; and an assessment of community-level needs in Saskatchewan and Manitoba for doing business in and with Asia.

WD 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 (HRSDC) is responsible for the Asia-Pacific Gateway Skills Table (Skills Table). Modeled 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 APGCI. The development of the Skills Table follows a one-year fast-track consultative and planning process designed to inform APGCI's future policy direction and investment decisions.

HRSDC was provided $3M over 4 years through the APGCI to fund projects prioritized by the Skills Table. These funds will support projects in priority areas identified by the Skills Table. HRSDC is providing an additional $2M to support the establishment and operation of the Skills Table (total federal investment is $5M).

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.

Planning Highlights: A number of components have been completed, including the Fast-Track Process, the Marine Container Inspection Operation at the Port of Prince Rupert, the Banff Trans Canada Twinning Program, Seizing the Gateway Opportunity, and Dredging the Fraser River.

The focus going forward is on advancing multi-modal infrastructure projects towards completion as well as advancing competitiveness initiatives such as the development of performance measures, identifying approaches to improve competitiveness and reliability of the supply chain, ongoing research to inform policy and infrastructure measures, and domestic and international outreach.

All funding under the Transportation Infrastructure Fund has been allocated to thirty-five announced projects. Seven of these projects, worth $44M, were funded through a transfer from the Mountain Pine Beetle Fund. An additional three projects (for a total of thirty-eight) have been funded through the Gateways and Border Crossings Fund. Four of the projects have been completed and several others are underway, with more expected to get underway in 2010-11. Various projects funded through other sources, including the Economic Action Plan, will contribute to the goals of the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative.

Under the Asia-Pacific Gateway Skills Table, four current projects will continue to be undertaken in fiscal year 2010-2011 and new projects will be advanced for funding. Common priorities among these projects include research to determine where skills gaps and labour shortages exist, development and delivery of industry-specific workshop pilots, succession planning, certification, outreach, and partnership building.

Name of Horizontal Initiative: ecotransport Strategy

Name of lead department(s): Transport Canada (TC)

Lead department program activity: Clean Air from Transportation

Start date of the Horizontal Initiative: 2007-2008

End date of the Horizontal Initiative: 2010-2011*
(*ecomobility and Marine Shore Power programs were extended to 2011-2012)

Total federal funding allocation (start to end date): $461.6 million*
(*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 programs ($0.3))

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 (NRCan's) ecoenergy for Fleet Program. The ecoauto Rebate Program and the Environment Canada's (EC's) Vehicle Scrappage program were introduced separately but are complementary to the programs for personal vehicles (see http://www.ecoaction.gc.ca/ecotransport/index-eng.cfm).

• 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 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 ($21 million), 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.
• The ecofreight programs, with $58.7 million in funding, features new steps to reduce the environmental and health effects of freight transportation through technology and will be delivered by TC ($36.7 million) and NRCan ($22 million). These programs include the Freight Technology Demonstration Fund ($9.3 million), which has provided cost-shared funding of demonstrations to test and measure new freight transportation technologies in real-world conditions; the Freight Technology Incentive Programs ($9.4 million), which has provided cost-shared funding to help recipients to purchase and install proven emission-reducing technologies; the ecofreight Partnership Program ($6.6 million), which has built industry partnerships; the Marine Shore Power Program, extended by one year to 2012 ($6 million), which is demonstrating 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), which is identifying regulatory barriers and solutions in collaboration with provinces and territories, so that the Canadian trucking industry can embrace emissions-reducing technologies; and the ecoenergy for Fleets programs ($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 $264M ecoauto Rebate Program ended on March 2009.  The Program provided performance-based rebates to consumers who purchased fuel-efficient vehicles.
• Environment Canada's 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 and, as a result, the personal vehicle fleet as well as the freight sector will use less energy. Other measures will help to reduce the demand for personal transportation and encourage modal shifts to more sustainable transportation options. The strategy will lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and 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 (TC, NRCan and EC) will manage their respective programs in accordance with defined governance structures for the individual programs concerned. Each program is subject to a Results-based Management Accountability Framework (RMAF), which includes committee structures, risk management strategies, and provisions for performance measurement, information management, auditing, evaluation and reporting. In addition, a broader Horizontal Management Accountability and Reporting Framework (HMARF) 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 HMARF includes governance structures; financial, measurement, risks and information management strategies; and lines of reporting.

Planning Highlights: The ecotransport Strategy will increase the take up of technologies and best practices through measures aimed at tackling the barriers to their increased market penetration. The central barrier is a lack of knowledge and market acceptance due to the poor availability or quality of information to consumers and firms. Other important barriers include uncertainty about the commercial viability of new technologies, cost, a lack of organizational and knowledge capacity, and the presence (or absence) of regulations, codes and standards that affect user choices.

Reducing these barriers will accelerate the commercial development and use of innovative technologies and best practices, thereby ensuring progress in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In this way, these programs are laying the foundation for emissions reductions, which is the intermediate outcome of the programs.

Expected Results:

Expected Results for ecomobility:

The ecomobility program builds on two major findings from the Urban Transportation Showcase Program: a lack of knowledge for practitioners and decision-makers on Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures as well as a lack of resources to implement TDM measures.

Increased use of Transportation Demand Management  (TDM) measures can help reduce urban transportation GHG emissions.  The ecomobility program responds to two major findings from the Urban Transportation Showcase Program on barriers to the use of TDM: a lack of knowledge for Canadian practitioners and decision-makers on Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures as well as a lack of resources to implement TDM initiatives.

Immediate Outcomes

• Informed positions on policies and programs influencing transportation technologies and practices;
  • Increased participation by target audience in emission reducing activities through partnerships and other program activities; and
  • Increased capacity by target audience to undertake initiatives that reduce energy consumption or GHG or CAC or release of toxic substances.

In 2010-11, the fourteen pilot projects that were announced for funding under ecomobility program will enter their second year of implementation.  These 13 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 TDM can work in their community to reduce GHG 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 13 municipalities with respect to the demonstration projects.  The project baseline information will be completed in 2009/10, the first follow up measurement will occur in 2010/11, and the final measurement will be completed in 2011/12.  Information on the success factors in implementing various TDM approaches will be shared with other Canadian communities during targeted workshops and web-based information products in 2010/11 and 2011/12, thus increasing the knowledge and utilization of TDM measures in a broader number of Canadian communities.

In order to further increase the capacity of Canadian municipalities to implement effective TDM strategies to reduce energy consumption, GHG and CAC, a number of tools will be developed and disseminated under the program in addition to the funded pilot projects.  Tools which have already been created, and which will be shared more broadly in 2010/11, will increase municipal capacity to measure the impacts of TDM strategies underway in their community, to develop and implement a range of options for small and rural communities, launch community Bike Sharing programs/services, establish employee transit discount programs, 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 2010/11 will include guidelines (with hands-on professional development events) for identifying the business case for successful TDM strategies, and case studies (approximately 10-15) on specific topics including University and school-based TDM initiatives, transit marketing strategies and recent trends in carpooling.  The program will deliver/support approximately 20 learning events in 2010/11.

In 2010/11, 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 2010/11 program activities with the above immediate outcomes.

Intermediate Outcome

• Use of transportation best practices that reduce energy consumption or GHG or CAC.

The program will not report intermediate outcomes until the final year of the program in 2011/12.  The program measurement strategy will be initiated in 2010-11 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 TDM initiatives addressed by this program. These indicators will seek to identify where TDM has been incorporated into municipal plans and operations, and the number of municipalities that add or enhance TDM commitments in their plans and operations. TDM professionals will be asked the extent to which they increased their knowledge and their ability to implement and measure their initiatives due to program activities. The utility 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 GHG or CAC from transportation.

The program is forecasting a GHG reduction of 0.011 MT in 2012.  This final outcome will be measured in 2011/12. 

Expected Results for ecotechnology for Vehicle:

Immediate Outcome

• Informed positions on policies and programs influencing transportation technologies and practices;
• Increased uptake of technologies that reduce energy consumption, GHG or CAC;
• Increased participation by target audience in emission reducing activities through partnerships and other program activities; and
• Increased capacity by target audience to undertake initiatives that reduce energy consumption or GHG or CAC or release of toxic substances.

Informed positions on policies and programs influencing transportation technologies and practices will be supported in 2010/11 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 8-10 advanced light-duty vehicles in 2010-11  – 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' knowledge 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 technology acceptance and adoption. This will include providing technical information to 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 into the curriculum. The selected program audience targets male and female Canadians who will purchase a vehicle in 1- 10 years time and that 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 GHG or CAC

The program measurement strategy will be implemented in 2010-11 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 vehicle, using the department's Vehicle Fuel Economy Information System (VFEIS) in 2011. 

Final Outcome

• Reductions in energy consumption or GHG or CAC from transportation.

The program is forecasting a GHG reduction of 0.15 Mt in 2011.  This final outcome will be measured in 2011/12 using a methodology that includes analysing market sales data, and estimating the increased penetration of relevant advanced vehicle technologies.  Based on this, GHG and CAC reductions will be estimated using fuel efficiency data provided by the Canadian Fuel Consumption Guide and driving profiles available from the Canadian Transportation Survey. 

Expected Results for National Harmonization Initiative for the Trucking Industry:

The National Harmonization Initiative for the Trucking Industry (NHITI) 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, GHG or CAC;
• Increased participation by target audience in emission reducing activities through partnerships and other program activities;
• Increased capacity by target audience to undertake initiatives that reduce energy consumption or GHG or CAC or release of toxic substances.

The program has successfully supported the move by Ontario and Quebec to mandate the use of speed limiters for the heavy trucks. Although additional provinces outside of Ontario and Quebec have 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 2010-11 timeframe.

In  2010-11, information will be shared with provinces and governments from the on-going 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 trucking energy consumption and GHG.

Intermediate Outcome/ Final Outcome
