Description: Canada's Transportation System - Better understanding its performance and capacity
Canada's economy relies on the efficiency and capacity of all modes of transportation to work as whole so people and freight move smoothly across air, land, and sea both nationally and internationally.
- Air Cargo Utilization shows if planes are used to their full capacity.
- Port Dwell Times and Commodity Flow Rates measure transit time at ports and how quickly freight gets to destination.
- Revenue Ton Kilometers specifies how much freight is carried on Canada's railroads.
Average Railroad Train Speed tells how quickly exports get to international markets and imports arrive at your door. - Border Crossing Wait Times indicate the wait time at major Canada-United States border points.
End-to-End Transit Times indicate how well Canada's transportation modes work together to move freight quickly and effectively.
The new Transportation Data and Information Hub presents activity and performance indicators about transportation in Canada such as trade statistics, passenger counts and border traffic. The data will provide a greater understanding of Canada's transportation system, including its capacity to adapt quickly to keep people and goods moving.
