Working in collaboration with provincial and territorial departments of transportation, other federal departments, the U.S. and Mexican departments of transportation, the private sector and other stakeholders, the Motor Carrier Branch is involved in a broad range of motor carrier policy initiatives such as:

• development and implementation of a legislative framework for motor carrier transportation in Canada
• NAFTA land transportation coordination for the federal government
• consultations with US and Mexico on a broad range of international and trade policy issues
• consultations with the provinces and industry stakeholders to address a broad spectrum of motor carrier issues
