February 16, 2005: RELEASE
OF REPORT OF FEDERAL/PROVINCIAL/TERRITORIAL OTTAWA
-
The intergovernmental task force on urban transportation today released a
report entitled "Urban Transportation in
Canada: Needs and Opportunities." The report is based on a
cross-Canada survey of the investment needs for public transit and urban
roads over the next ten years. It finds that the investment needs are
significant and shows that investing in transportation (in addition to other
kinds of infrastructure) is critical to supporting economic and job growth,
environmental sustainability, and quality of life in Canada's cities. Composed of representatives
from provincial and territorial jurisdictions and the federal government, and
reporting to the Council of Deputy Ministers Responsible for Transportation
and Highway Safety, the goal of the Task Force is to explore urban
transportation issues of common interest with a view to recommending actions
to the Council. The task force's mandate includes making recommendations on
initiatives, priorities, criteria, and principles for urban transportation
investment in the context of potential partnerships between
federal/provincial/territorial governments and municipalities. |
