Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan – TAO Comments

By Transport Action Ontario | Interurban Rail and Bus

Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) was released in June, 2016.   TAO has been actively involved, both through the Move the GTHA collaborative and as an individual organization.

TAO supports much of the CCAP.  However, we have identified two significant concern areas related to transportation:

  • No consideration was given for increased role of freight intermodal in carbon emission reduction
  • No consideration was given to enhance public transportation outside the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area

Letters have been written to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change on both topics, and can be viewed below:
