TRANSPORTATION
The Canadian Vehicle Survey undertaken
in 1999 will provide
much-needed data about transportation in Canada, such as information
on automobile use, the purpose and length of each trip, start
and finish times,
driver demographics, vehicle type, and number of occupants.
Canadians travel billions of kilometres every year by air,
rail, ship, and road vehicles, including passenger vehicles and
scheduled urban, scheduled intercity and charter buses. This chapter
focuses on the level of passenger activities of each modal transport
service. For public passenger services, this overview provides
a sense of the relative use made of the different modes of
travel and reflects recent trends.
Although the most common means of travel in Canada is the
automobile, little hard data has been available until now to track
the automobile travel patterns of Canadians. The information presented
in this chapter is based mainly on provincial and territorial
registration data and does not focus on travel patterns or attempt
to analyse vehicle usage. The Canadian Vehicle Survey undertaken
in the past year is designed to fill in many gaps in data
in this important area.
