Six hundred million dollars of the $2.65 billion provided for the physical infrastructure program will be spent on highway infrastructure across Canada. The Strategic Highway Infrastructure Program (SHIP) is administered by Transport Canada and has two components: a $500 million highway construction component and a
$100 million national system integration component. The highway construction component was made available to address the needs of Canada's highways over the next five years. The Government of Canada is working with the provinces and territories to identify those parts of the national highway system that need immediate attention. The national system integration component exists to fund initiatives which better integrate the transportation system. These include the
deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems across Canada, improvements to border crossings and better transportation planning.
