Urban Transportation Indicators - Fourth Survey

The Urban Transportation Indicators Fourth Survey report is based on data gathered during the 2006 Canadian Census for 33 Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs). The report also contains supplementary data from 31 CMAs that responded to a detailed TAC survey, which looked at the status of transportation and land use initiatives, transportation financing, and land use and transportation. Also included are Kent Marketing data on fuel sales and summary statistics from the Canadian Urban Transit Association. The urban transportation indicators survey series was established by TAC's Urban Transportation Council in 1994. The surveys assess progress by Canadian urban areas on key sustainable transportation initiatives. These initiatives are based on 13 decision-making principles supporting a desirable future transportation system and associated land use identified in TAC's New Vision for Urban Transportation. The survey program's goal is to provide consistent transportation and related data for Canadian urban areas from which trends can be analyzed both among urban areas and over time. (A)
