- 1. How Thick Is the Border? ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-626-X2012020Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article in the Economic Insights series examines how much crossing the border adds to the cost of moving goods by truck. It quantifies the cost of border delays, border-related compliance costs, and other costs associated with moving goods to and from Canada's main trading partner. It is based on the paper Trucking Across the Border: The Relative Cost of Cross-border and Domestic Trucking, 2004 to 2009, by William Anderson and Mark Brown.
Release date: 2012-11-19 - 2. Trucking Across the Border: The Relative Cost of Cross-border and Domestic Trucking, 2004 to 2009 ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0027M2012081Geography: CanadaDescription:
Despite the elimination of tariff barriers between Canada and the United States, the volume of trade between the two countries has been less than would be expected if there were no impediments. While considerable work has been done to gauge the degree of integration between the Canadian and U.S. economies through trade, relatively little analysis has parsed out the underlying costs for cross-border trade. The costs of crossing the border can be divided into formal tariff barriers, non-tariff barriers, and the cost of the transport system itself. This paper focuses on the latter by estimating the cost of shipping goods by truck between Canada and the U.S. during the 2004-to-2009 period. The analysis assesses the degree to which costs to ship goods by truck to and from the U.S. exceed those within Canada by measuring the additional costs on a level and an ad valorem basis. The latter provides an estimate of the tariff equivalent transportation cost that applies to cross-border trade. These costs are further broken down into fixed and variable (line-haul) costs. Higher fixed costs are consistent with border delays and border compliance costs which are passed on to the consumers of trucking services. Higher line-haul costs may result from difficulties obtaining backhauls for a portion of the trip home. Such difficulties may stem from trade imbalances and regulations that restrict the ability of Canadian-based carriers to transport goods between two points in the United States.
Release date: 2012-11-19 - 3. Public transit in Canada, 2007 ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-002-X201000211283Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study looks at access to and use of public transit in 2007, using data from the Households and the Environment Survey.
Release date: 2010-06-29 - Articles and reports: 16-001-M2009009Geography: CanadaDescription:
The Canadian Vehicle Survey (CVS) is a voluntary, vehicle-based survey that provides quarterly and annual estimates of road vehicle activity. This includes vehicle-kilometres and passenger-kilometres as well as a number of other elements related to the trip such as sex of driver, time of day and season.
In 2007, the sample size of the CVS was increased in order to address a data gap regarding consumption of fuel for personal use. The CVS was seen as a possible solution to getting better insight into the household component of fuel consumption. By differentiating between types of vehicle use the CVS can provide estimates of fuel consumed for personal and business purposes.
The aims of this report are twofold. The first is to present a national, annual profile of vehicle fuel consumption by type of use. The second is to compare the fuel quantities produced by the CVS with other known data sources, especially those data generated by Statistics Canada. This data comparison will provide grounding for future work using this data. Explanations are put forward to account for discrepancies between the data.
Release date: 2009-11-05 - 5. Dependence on cars in urban neighbourhoods ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X200800110503Geography: CanadaDescription:
In this article, we focus on the relationship between the types of neighbourhoods in which people live and the use of cars for daily travel. How much do residents of peripheral areas and low-density (suburban) neighbourhoods depend on cars in their daily lives compared with residents of more "urban" neighbourhoods? To what extent can residents of central neighbourhoods go about their day-to-day business without necessarily using a car? In which metropolitan areas is exclusive use of the automobile most common?
Release date: 2008-01-22 - Articles and reports: 16-002-X200700310455Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines driving and commuting patterns from a gender perspective. Trip chaining, the practice of stopping at intermediate points during a journey, is analyzed using data from the 2005 Canadian Vehicle Survey. Next-stage destinations and the number of stops made while driving are compared for men and women.
Release date: 2007-12-10 - 7. Too Many Trucks on the Road? ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-621-M2005028Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study tests the perception that road congestion is growing in Canada, especially with the competition for road space between cars and trucks. It provides a view of the characteristics of the truck and car population on the roads in Canada based primarily on the registration and performance data available from the Canadian Vehicle Survey.
Release date: 2005-05-13 - 8. Sport Utility Vehicles: Driving Change ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-621-M2005020Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study examines production and sales trends in automotive and light duty vehicle manufacturing in Canada and the United States from 1999 to 2004. It focuses on production and sales of sport utility vehicles.
Release date: 2005-02-16 - 9. Public Transit Use Among Immigrants ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M2004224Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper examines the likelihood of immigrants and the Canadian-born to use public transit. It also discusses implications for public transit services. It uses data from the 1996 and 2001 censuses of Canada.
Release date: 2004-05-13 - Journals and periodicals: 53F0007XGeography: CanadaDescription:
This analytical study uses Canadian Vehicle Survey data for 2000 to explain road use characteristics of young and aging drivers on a national basis. The analysis examines differences between two age groups - those aged 24 and under and those aged 55 and over - with the remainder of the population, those aged 25 to 54.
The focus of the study is on when and why drivers choose to make road trips, and how the driving population compares with the population as a whole. Driver characteristics were compared with Canadian motor vehicle traffic collision statistics published by Transport Canada (1999) as a means of putting driving exposure into perspective.
