Transportation

Description:

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.

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.

Description:

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.

Description:

"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.

Description:

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.

Description:

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.

Description:

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.

Description:

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.

Description:

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).

Description:

This article continues the seasonally adjusted time series last presented in the publication Canadian Civil Aviation, 1995. The series is continued up to the end of the fourth quarter of 1996.

Data are for Canadian air carriers, Levels I and II combined. All data are expressed in thousands.

Description:

Quarterly civil aviation financial statistics (total, operating revenue for scheduled and charter services both separately and combined, passenger revenue and goods revenue for both scheduled and charter services, all other operating revenue, total, operating expenses, turbo fuel expenses, wages, salaries and benefits paid, all other operating expenses, net income (loss), operating income (loss), non-operating income (loss) and average number of employees. Data are for Canadian air carriers, Levels I and II combined. All data are expressed in thousands of dollars, except for the average number of employees, which is expressed in full.

Description: This research paper examines shelter and transportation costs within census metropolitan areas (CMAs). The paper begins by describing a proposed methodology for delineating urban and suburban sub-regions within CMA Market Basket Measure (MBM) regions. It then presents new shelter and transportation costs based on the new delineations and assesses the extent to which differences in costs between urban and suburban sub-regions differ. The analysis concludes by examining how the new delineations would impact the estimation of poverty rates had they been implemented. This paper also provides an opportunity for the public and stakeholders to provide feedback and comments.

Description: The increase in work from home triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic directly decreased public transit use. While this increase in work from home likely reduced commuting and greenhouse gas emissions caused by transportation, it also put downward pressure on the revenues and ridership of urban public transit systems. This article assesses the degree to which the increase in work from home observed in Canada in recent years may have reduced the number of public transit commuters from 2016 to 2023 in urban areas.

Description: This article presents data sources and methodology for the For-hire Motor Carrier Freight Services Price Index (FHMCFSPI). The FHMCFSPI measures the monthly and quarterly change in the price of shipping services provided by trucking companies in Canada. The index is an important indicator of economic activity within the truck transportation industry, as well as a tool that can be utilized by the industry for cost monitoring, contract assessment and benchmark comparisons.
