Urban Transportation Indicators - Third Survey

In 1993, the Urban Transportation Council (UTC) of the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) proposed a New Vision for Urban Transportation, describing 13 principles which point the way to desirable future transportation systems and related urban land use. A pilot survey that included eight urban areas was carried out in 1995 using 1991 as the study year. This established baselines that would be used to compare with all future surveys. A follow-up survey was done in 1999 using 1996 as the study year and it included fifteen urban areas, which built on the first survey and compared the two study years. This report describes the third survey, which included all 27 Census Metropolitan Areas (although the level of their participation varies) and was carried out in 2003 for the 2001 study year. This report describes the survey process and results, draws conclusions on trends from the resulting database (which includes 1991, 1996 and 2001 data and which is mounted on the TAC website) and discusses progress towards achieving the TAC Vision in light of the survey findings and in comparison to international data. For the French version of this report, see ITRD number F160238. Pour la version francaise du rapport, voir ITRD numero F160238.
