Queues won’t be a problem if you enter by road from Alaska along the Top-of-the-World Highway into the Yukon. Several ferries run from the USA to Canada on the east coast, and from Washington State to Vancouver Island.
Transport 2000 Canada
February 19, 2007
Transport 2000 Canada is pleased to participate in Transportation Day 2007. As our record of 30 years makes clear, we believe that transportation is a critical feature of Canada’s economic, social, environmental, technological, and political fabric. And, we further believe that geography is a fundamental factor to consider when making decisions about all aspects of transportation, and especially about planning for and achieving sustainable transport systems.
A selection of published documents has been assembled to illustrate the geographical aspects of transportation issues, problems, concerns, situations, challenges, and opportunities that are considered in the work of Transport 2000. As shown, the geographical scale of our public involvement ranges from local to regional and national; rural and metropolitan areas as well places in between are represented; and, most important in relation to Geography Awareness Week, the relevance of geography as a factor affecting the location, design, and use of transportation systems to move people and goods is discussed from a variety of perspectives.
Members of Transport 2000 and regular visitors to this website are aware that the selected items are the “tip of the iceberg” when it comes to materials produced by this organization over the past three decades. In particular, these are items that have been posted on the Transport 2000 website, or could be readily retrieved for inclusion in this presentation, and therefore represent only a small segment of our publications. However, they are sufficient to illustrate how Transport 2000 takes geographic factors into account as part of its contribution and commitment to promote and advocate for more sustainable transport practices in all modes - walk, cycle, transit, rail, air, water, pipeline, and private motor vehicle.
After visitors have examined the selected items, they are invited to view the remainder of the Transport 2000 Canada website to learn more about our activities, services and programs. Transportation Day is designed to increase awareness about how geography affects transportation across Canada throughout the year, and we welcome Canadians of all ages and places becoming involved with Transport 2000 Canada on a continuing basis.
