It is the responsibility of Transport Canada's Policy Group to advise the
Minister of Transport and senior management on how transportation policy issues
fit within the broader government agenda, which currently includes: national
safety, internal/external trade, regulatory reform, a knowledge-based
economy/society, and the environment.
More specifically the role of the Policy Group is to develop, recommend and
coordinate modal and multi-modal policies. Essentially the group offers advice,
analysis and data on transportation issues, system performance and stakeholder
positions. Advice on policy options is based on efficiency, competitiveness,
safety and security, environmental sustainability, and inter-modal integration.
The Policy Group fulfils its role through a multi-modal program of policy
analysis, briefings, coordination, consultations, evaluation and economic
analysis, which develops and utilizes necessary data, forecasts, models,
research, and intelligence to meet the department's objectives.
