- 751. 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.

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 - 753. 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 - 755. 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:

Release date: 1998-01-08 - 759. 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).

- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 23-26-0001Description:
This project is an evidence-based measurement of mobility for key corridors in our urban centers across Canada. Transport Canada computes a mobility indicator to assess the impact of urban bottlenecks in Canada’s strategic trade corridors and the economy. This information is important for practitioners and policymakers as it goes beyond anecdotal evidence on a subject affecting millions of Canadians and our trade corridors. The mobility indicator in question is the Travel Time Index (TTI). It is the ratio of the measured travel time to the free-flow travel time. Free-flow travel time is measured overnight, when drivers are free to drive at their desired speed because of low volume traffic conditions.
Release date: 2021-01-18 - 3. Guide to Transportation Data ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 50F0001GDescription:
