The Importance Of Transportation In Canada

The town of Halton Hill’s population includes the areas of Georgetown and Acton and other communities such as Erin, Oakville, Burlington and Milton regions. This is what is considered to be my community because these are the many places that I am visiting most often and they are always referred to together as “Halton Hills Region” (p.5, 2011). With the substantial increase in population in the Halton Hills region, more specifically Georgetown, there should be a strong demand for a public transit system to counteract all of the environmental disturbances that are being caused due to this increase. One of the things that is happening is that there are so many trees they are cutting down in order to expand and grow the population with houses being built. Statistics are showing that the population of Halton Hill’s region will expand by 54% over the next 20 years (p.5, 2011). By the year 2031, employment rates will increase by 75%, leaving Halton with 42,100 jobs being offered (p.5, 2011). With this rapid influx of citizens, this will only increase the demands of travel to get to these work places as well as other destinations (p.5, 2011). Over the past couple of year’s the traffic congestion on the major roads in Halton Hills such as Trafalgar Road and Regional Road 25 with individuals trying to get to and from work. There used to be very little traffic in these areas, however since Halton Hill’s has continued to expand, the utilization of automobiles has significantly increased due to the fact there is no public transit system. The Transportation Demand Management in Halton Hill’s is noticing the increase in automobiles stating that there needs to be a major shift in more efficient ways of transportation, yet there still has been nothing improvised (p.7, 2011). The Transportation Demand

The TTC is the most vigorously utilized urban mass travel framework in all of Canada, and the third biggest in North America, after the New York City Transit Authority and Mexico City Metro

Improving transit will reduce commute time and amount of cars on the road. Toronto is ranked 47th worst traffic in the world. This means that Toronto has a real traffic problem. We must improve the system. This means, having better bus routes and more buses, more subway lines. Toronto currently has only 4 subway lines. This is nothing compared to New York with 34 lines. If our transit

Everyday people in Toronto travel to places using public transportation. Without public transportation, we wouldn’t be able to go to places that are far away from us. We needed them in our everyday life but there are key problems that surfaces when using public transportation. Public transportation may seem convenient but for others it may not seem ideal for them from certain circumstances such as the cost, lack of transportation in a certain area and the delays. These make people not want to ride a public transportation which is why Toronto should improve on the public transportation to make the best interest for the people.

Traffic in downtown Austin, Texas is becoming a sever issue and is continuing to become slower and more congested every day. Austin ranks 4th on a list of U.S. cities with the least efficient roadways, and with its remarkable growth rate, the issue can only get worse. After reading numerous articles based on opinions and statements from local city planners and engineers, the best way to see an improvement in the traffic issue is to increase the amount of public transportation in the Austin area. The increase of public transportation would provide fast travel time and would help reduce the amount of money, commuters and locals use on gas by a substantial amount per year. Though many may argue the that we have enough public transportation already, reducing the number of personal vehicles on the road would decrease the amount of bumper to bumper traffic experienced on a daily basis, as well as increase the options for those commuting to the city every day. there are many possible solutions, such as widening the highways or even building them underground, these solutions however are not the most economically correct and productive way to relieve traffic downtown.

I’m very passionate about this topic because on my way home everyday the roads are very bad. Last year balfours parking lot was so bad that I couldn’t even drive 10 kilometres/hour without my car bouncing, it ruined my cars suspension and I had to pay thirteen hundred dollars to get it fixed. There have been times when there would would be a huge pothole and they don’t put a pylon on or near it, next thing you know you bottom out your car. They are wasting all their money on the new stadium, their budget is no good. Regina roads have been super bad for so long.

Mississauga roads are becoming less dependable and there have been numerous accidents happening throughout the year. Citizens of Mississauga are oblivious when it comes to road safety. They are not known for their driving prowess, which has caused a lot of horrendous accidents. The world is aging quickly and digressing from ancient gadgets, and more brutal gadgets are being produced that can distract drivers, which in turn causes awful deaths. The top three issues are texting while driving, drunk driving, also known as impaired driving and the dangerous issue of faulty cars. It will require some serious brainstorming to find a way to tackle these issues.

The Junction Gardens Business Improvement Area (BIA) is a small highly circulated art district that runs along Dundas Street West. It can be found northwest of Bloor Street and Yonge Street and is easily accessible by a variety of transportation forms. On October 13th, around noon, I had visited the “heart” of this BIA at its major intersection of Dundas Street West and Keele Street with the aid of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), which services thousands of commuters. Transportation in the city is a necessity to provide people a means of getting around town safely, promotes social equity, and lowers the crime rate.

The ability to raise revenue of Toronto is governed by Ontario's municipal law, and provincial and federal municipalities are reluctant to provide additional financial assistance. However, most of the 38 big cities in the U.S. have the legal right to use sales taxes and income taxes of city hall, and are greatly assisted by the state and federal governments. Capital expenditures in Greater Toronto mainly include the construction of public facilities, environmental maintenance and the service capital assets required for enterprises and individuals. More importantly, more infrastructure should be provided and maintained for more people in this new city. In 2004, the government received more funding from the provincial government to try to meet its infrastructure needs, which, however, causes a substantial increase in capital budgets to meet the infrastructure of public facilities. The largest capital expenditures are generally used for sewer, waterway, and highways. Transportation costs have risen sharply since 1988 due to the increasing of capital and operating costs of municipalities. However, the infrastructure of the city needs constant maintenance and replacement, resulting in a negative cycle of funding. The household fire expenditures in Toronto are much higher than those in other cities with low-density population, so the program increasing demand is not limited to specialized services such as fire-fighting, garbage disposal and public health

There are really many challenges if we try to improve public transportation, the government will be cost a lot of

Congestion and traffic pollution has been a major problem in New York City for years. There have been many laws, tolls, and fines implemented over the past few decades to try and fix the problem. Yet, congestion still exists. Congestion occurs when there is overcrowding on roadways that’s causes traffic jams. There are several reasons for the severity of this issue. Congestion causes a lot of delays in the city. It is unlikely that people are on time for anything, even if they planned ahead. With traffic in the city the way it is, you can’t blame them. The indirect effect of congestion is traffic pollution. Traffic pollution is polluting of the environment caused by harmful toxins and gases given released by cars. The amount of pollution

The purpose of this research paper is to critically analyse the issues of delay in the NAIT LRT project. This project was initiated on September 6, 2015, which was supposed to be in 2014. The key objective of this research paper is to identify steps and activities that must be managed to avoid delays, development problems due to unexpected risks and even monitoring the project. This study will provide a brief analysis of the issues incurred in the failure of NAIT LRT project. This study undertakes the information available on the journal articles, newspaper articles, online material, City of Edmonton website and other news channel websites to explore the history and current position of the project.

TTC is big organization they operate 4 subway lines and have 69 stations, 149 bus routes and they also operate 10

Public transportation is serious need of a massive overhaul in this nation. We are in desperate need to catch up to the European standard of public transportation in this country. In Europe, citizens can travel across cities, bodies of water, and even counties with their state of the art public transportation system. Europeans are not nearly as reliant on cars and oil as the United States is because they have the much more practical option of taking the transportation provided to them by the government to where ever they need to go. They have set a model that the United States needs to strive for and meet in the near future.

Public transportation can help reduce stress caused by driving, save money, and also protect our environment by reducing the number of vehicles on the road. In order to get more people off the road and into the public transportation system we must increase the number of buses and taxis that are available. We must also increase the number of stops available for daily bus routes. With more stops on the map more people are likely to use the bus system. Each city or town will be able to decide where more bus stops are needed and make the adjustments necessary to provide better service for the taxpaying citizens. Of course, none of this is possible without adequate funds in each town/city and the gas tax is guaranteed to provide those funds. Providing more public transportation will help us reach our ultimate goal of protecting the environment and ourselves.
