TRANSPORTATION POLICY ISSUES

Up until very recently there has been little in the way of cooperative efforts between the provincial and federal governments in transportation decision making. Each has made policy decisions in the past without meaningful involvement of the other which has resulted in reactive situations. The author explains the existing conditions in Ontario and describes the effort made in establishing the necessary structure to ensure coordinated effort. He further outlines an existing committee, known as FP-CORT (Federal Provincial Committee Ontario Region Transportation) with respect to its principals and objectives.
