A ROLE FOR TRANSPORTATION IN CANADA

Transportation planning today involves all modes--airways, railways, waterways, and pipelines. Even the transmission of electrical power may be considered as a mode of transportation. Moreover, transportation planning involves the economic, political, and social systems of a nation. This paper is an attempt to create an awareness of the vast importance and complexity of transportation planning, to define a potential role of transportation, and finally, to suggest ways and means of achieving transportation's possible role.
