Proposal text
~~-Transportation issues are central to achieving a sustainable economy. All of Canada's principal~~
-cities have transport coordination functions integrated with their operations, and typically involve
~~-their provinces as well. The national capital region is unique in spanning two provinces,and lacks~~
-overall coordination.
-
-• The GPC will advocate for a rational approach to the ground transportation issues of the entire
-National Capital region;
-
-• The GPC will argue for the creation of a single cross-border infrastructure agency to integrate
-and optimize the public road and bridge systems of both provinces in the service of the national
-capital region;
-
-• The GPC will argue for the integration of the public transit functions from both provinces and
~~-cities in a single transprovincial organization.~~
Type of Proposal
Public policy that the party would represent
Objective / Benefit
As residents of Gatineau and of Ottawa, we are well aware of the chaos on the road and bridge
systems that span the Ottawa River. There is a lack of coordination in the planning and management
of all transport systems, road, bridge, public transit, train and bus, at all governmental levels,
municipal, provincial and federal.
This policy proposes to extend the powers of the National Capital Commission that already has a
limited brief with respect to infrastructure in the National Capital region, to provide integrated
transportation management and services across the region.
If your proposal replaces an existing policy or policies, which one does it replace?
This is new policy. No existing policy addresses the powers of the NCC.
List any supporting evidence for your proposal
None, this is just a good idea.
Does this proposal affect any particular group and what efforts have been made to consult with the
group or groups?
There is considerable overlap in the jurisdiction for road and transportation systems between cities
and provinces. Added to that confusion in the nation’s capital, the federal government has a strong
interest in regional travel for its employees and operations. The existence of the NCC is evidence
of the need for an integrating, cross-border, and cross-river standing commission.
Jurisdiction: Is this proposal under federal jurisdiction?
Yes
Please indicate the language the proposal is being submitted in.

National Capital Region Transportation Policy

Proposal text

Be it resolved that the Green Party of Canada recognizes that the national capital region is unique in spanning two provinces and lacks overall transportation coordination.

The GPC will argue for the creation of a single cross-border infrastructure agency including federal, provincial, and municipal representation, to integrate and optimize the public road, bridge, and transit systems of both provinces in the service of the national capital region.

Type of Proposal

Public policy that the party would represent

Objective / Benefit

As residents of Gatineau and of Ottawa, we are well aware of the chaos on the road and bridge systems that span the Ottawa River. There is a lack of coordination in the planning and management of all transport systems, road, bridge, public transit, train and bus, at all governmental levels, municipal, provincial and federal.

This policy proposes to extend the powers of the National Capital Commission that already has a limited brief with respect to infrastructure in the National Capital region, to provide integrated transportation management and services across the region.

If your proposal replaces an existing policy or policies, which one does it replace?

This is new policy. No existing policy addresses the powers of the NCC.

List any supporting evidence for your proposal

None, this is just a good idea.

Does this proposal affect any particular group and what efforts have been made to consult with the group or groups?

There is considerable overlap in the jurisdiction for road and transportation systems between cities and provinces. Added to that confusion in the nation’s capital, the federal government has a strong interest in regional travel for its employees and operations. The existence of the NCC is evidence of the need for an integrating, cross-border, and cross-river standing commission.

Jurisdiction: Is this proposal under federal jurisdiction?

Yes

Please indicate the language the proposal is being submitted in.
