TRANSPORTATION AND
THE CANADIAN ECONOMY
Growth of the Canadian economy
slowed down in 2001
while the US economy entered
a mild recession.
To understand the factors that have affected the demand for
transportation services in Canada, one must look at developments
in the economy as a whole. This chapter discusses recent developments
in the Canadian economy and the contribution of transportation
to the economy both from the perspective of transportation industries
and from the overall demand for transportation in the economy,
including both commercial and private transportation.
