TRANSPORTATION
-- ENERGY
AND ENVIRONMENT
More than one third of Canada's total energy consumption
is used up by transportation activities. Population and
economic growth increase transportation demand.
Societal concerns
about the environment are more pronounced. Transportation, like
other sectors of the economy is more and more assessed in terms
of these heightened environmental expectations. Transportation
is a major contributor to greenhouse gases. Its dependence on
fossil fuel energy makes this sector a very important energy consuming
sector within the economy.
