Recognize the Importance of Roads and Highways
CAA and Pollution Probe believe that better and safer roads can lead to more fuel-efficient driving, reduce congestion and GHG emissions, and save time, fuel and repair bills for motorists.
To meet this goal, CAA and Pollution Probe recommend:
- Investing in better, safer roads and highways that reduce congestion, fuel consumption and emissions that pollute the air we breathe and contribute to climate change.
- Developing a framework in which planning, research and development, and funding for the deployment of effective traffic management strategies and Intelligent Transportation Systems can flourish.
- Recognizing and promote the need for roads to contribute to Eco-Driving as part of an integrated transportation strategy. Such a transportation strategy should also recognize the need to support a variety of mobility options for Canadians, including walking, cycling, public transit and other less-energy-intensive forms of transportation.
