This article will show how the operating ratio of for-hire motor carriers of Freight has improved in the second half of 1997.
Release date: 1998-12-22 - Public use microdata: 53M0003GDescription:
This is a user guide to the National Private Vehicle Use Survey. The purpose of the survey is to provide measures of vehicle fuel use and the determinants of fuel use. This information will provide the basis for future policy decisions aimed at reducing the fuel consumed by personal-use vehicles.
To this end, it is important to understand how consumers use their vehicles in order to design adequate energy efficiency programs and alternative energy programs. The specific objectives of the survey are: provide national estimates of annual fuel use for personal-use vehicles (includes passenger cars/light trucks and vans); provide national estimates of total distance driven; identify the main factors in the purchase of a vehicle; identify in a general fashion how households use their vehicles; develop driver profiles by sex, age, marital status, income, education and occupational group; and develop vehicle profiles by vehicle body type, model year, number of cylinders, transmission type, and presence or absence of air conditioning.
Release date: 1998-11-05 - 3. Canadian domiciled marine carriers, 1995 ArchivedTable: 54-205-X19960003606Description:
The universe of Canadian marine transport firms is composed of three sectors: for-hire (or commercial), private and government. Each marine carrier is assigned to the sector from which it derives the majority of its revenue. Carriers that change their mix of operations from year to year might be recorded as private one yaer and for-hire the following year.
Release date: 1998-03-12 - 4. An industry with many faces: Global balance sheets analysis of for-hire trucking companies ArchivedTable: 53-222-X19960003612Description:
This paper first describes the statistical tools used to make these measurements. We will then present the results obtained by applying these tools to the financial databases for the years 1993 to 1996 derived from the Annual Motor Carriers of Freight Survey, conducted by Transportation Division of Statistics Canada. Finally, the main results obtained will be summarized and we will give some insights on future applications of the statistical tools developed.
Release date: 1998-02-27 - 5. Trucking in a borderless market: A profile of the Canadian trucking industry, 1988 to 1994 ArchivedArticles and reports: 61-532-X19970013499Description:
Issues affecting the transportation industry impact on the day to day concerns of Canadians. Changes in policy affecting transportation and trade have altered the landscape for the primary mode of commodity transport, trucking. Economic factors typically affecting the demand for trucking services are - the volume of production of goods for domestic and foreign consumption and exports and imports, interest rates and the value of the Canadian dollar. The supply of truck transport in turn is affected by the price of inputs, namely labour (drivers and helpers) and capital (straight trucks, road tractors and semi- and full-trailers). These variables are key determinants of the day to day activities of the industry.

"If you've got it, a truck brought it." When you stop to think about it, an increasing number of the things we use are transported to market for at least part of the way, by truck. The trucking industry is becoming increasingly important to the transportation sector of the Canadian economy. This growing importance can be attributed to several factors including the deregulation of transportation, the surge in trade with the United States and the evolving structure of the industry itself. It is within this context that concern for labour issues, including a driver shortage, has been voiced. The demands on drivers have increased, driver training is inadequate and as a result, there is a perceived shortage of qualified drivers. This study examines employment in the trucking industry from 1988 to 1994 by looking at various sources of employment data at Statistics Canada.
Release date: 1998-02-02 - 7. Canada's airports: Their role as cargo gateways ArchivedArticles and reports: 61-532-X19970013502Description:
Using just about any yardstick (tonnage, value of goods, revenue earned, tons/kilometres), it is difficult to dispute the recent growth in air cargo traffic. Factors ranging from industrial globalization to business practices like "just-in-time" inventory management and aggressive off-shore marketing of Canadian goods and services have contributed to this increased activity. As local groups contemplate the purchase or lease of community airports, they are being advised to secure a solid cargo base in addition to passenger traffic.
Release date: 1998-02-02 - Table: 50-002-X19980013458Description:
Canadian ports handled a record quantity of international cargo in the first half of 1997. The ports handled 125.2 million tonnes (Mt.) of international cargo, an increase of 7.0% over the first six months of 1996. International shipping activity in the mining sector and crude petroleum transshipments drove the increase.
Release date: 1998-01-08 - Table: 51-204-X19960003459Description:
Passenger air travel within Canada reached a record high in 1996, recording 14.2 million passengers. 12.7 million passengers travelled within Canada on scheduled flights, the highest level achieved since 1990, while a record 1.5 million domestic passenger charter trips were posted.
Release date: 1998-01-08 - 10. Passenger air travel within and between provinces/territories (scheduled air carriers), 1996 ArchivedTable: 51-204-X19960003460Description:
The level of inter- and intra-provincial/territorial air travel is generally a reflection of the large inter-city markets which comprise any particular provincial/ territorial market.

Release date: 1998-01-08 - 8. 1996 civil aviation results ArchivedTable: 51-206-X19960003442Description:
1996 was the second consecutive year in which Canadian air carriers reported record levels of passenger operations (enplaned passengers and passenger-kilometres). It was the first year in which industry revenues went over the $10 billion mark. However, fewer Canadian carriers reported net incomes and for the second year in a row, Canadian carriers reported worse performances in their operating income and basic loss (operating income combined with interest income and expenses).
