Book Description
This report begins with a summary of the first three phases of a study to develop a national highway policy. Work conducted in these phases included identification of a national highway system, estimation of the costs of upgrading the system, public consultation on the system, and review of international experience in national highway systems. The main section reviews the work carried out in the fourth phase, which was structured around building consensus on principles essential to establishing a nationally acceptable funding, allocation, & implementation strategy. Finally, recommendations are made regarding options for highway funding, allocation of funds, federal-provincial cost sharing, research & development, policy implementation, and program monitoring & review.
