National Workshops on Sustainable Transportation
During 2001 and 2002, the Centre held four workshops across Canada
to continue and advance discussions on how transportation in Canada
can be moved toward sustainability, particularly in the period beyond
2012 (i.e. post Kyoto Protocol). In preparation for these workshops,
each participant was given a Background
Paper for a Post-Kyoto Transport Strategy (628KB) outlining
the trends and issues to consider. In addition, the participants
were given a Draft
Strategy for Transport in Canada for the Post-Kyoto Period (272KB)
containing proposed policy actions for consideration. Workshops
to explore transportation options for the future were held in Vancouver,
Toronto, Montreal and Halifax. The one-day workshop debated policy
directions and actions necessary to meet targeted reductions in
transportation emissions and other impacts under a small number
of scenarios that reflect alternatives for transport development
in Canada. The outcome of these workshop will be of interest to
government officials involved with the environment, transportation,
urban affairs or economic development, transit professionals, environmental
NGO's, public health officials, as well as to transport industry
leaders.
Three documents are available from these workshops:
. The
Workshop Agenda, which described how the workshops were conducted.
(272KB)
. The
Background Paper, which was given to all workshop registrants.
(628KB)
. The
Final Report on the findings from all the workshops. (404KB)

Inquiry on Sustainable Transportation
This publication, funded by Health Canada's Population Health Fund,
was produced in April 1998 in conjunction with the Ottawa-based
organization Learning
for a Sustainable Future (LSF). It is a series of brief readings
on sustainable transportation organized under nine headings:
. How transportation has changed.
. Transportation today.
. Our love affair with the car.
. Transportation and the economy.
. Transportation and the environment.
. Transportation and society.
. Reducing transport's impacts through better technology.
. Other ways of reducing transport's impacts.
. What sustainable transportation could be like. The Inquiry on
Sustainable Transportation will be one of a series of Inquiries
used by LSF in workshops for high-school teachers on sustainable
development.
