道路

[編集]
ブリティッシュ・コロンビア州チリワックのトランスカナダ・ハイウェイ

カナダには、合計で1,042,300 km (647,700 mi)の道路があり、このうち高速道路の415,600 km (258,200 mi)(アメリカの州間高速道路、中国の高速道路システムに次ぎ、世界で3番目に長い)を含む415,600 km (258,200 mi)は舗装されている。2008年時点で626,700 km (389,400 mi)は未舗装[3]

2009年時点で、カナダで登録された自動車は20,706,616台で、うち96%は4.5メトリックトン (4.4ロングトン; 5.0ショートトン)以下、2.4%は4.5メトリックトン (4.4ロングトン; 5.0ショートトン)と15メトリックトン (15ロングトン; 17ショートトン)の間、1.6%は15 t (15ロングトン; 17ショートトン)以上だった。これらの乗り物の走行距離の合計は3332億9千万㎞で、このうち3036億㎞は4.5 t (4.4ロングトン; 5.0ショートトン)以下の車、83億㎞は4.5 t (4.4ロングトン; 5.0ショートトン)と15 t (15ロングトン; 17ショートトン)の間の車、214億㎞は15 t (15ロングトン; 17ショートトン)以上の車である。4.5 t (4.4ロングトン; 5.0ショートトン)から15 t (15ロングトン; 17ショートトン)のトラックについては、距離の88.9%が州内、4.9%が州間、2.8%がカナダとアメリカの間、3.4%がカナダ国外の走行だった。また、 15 t (15ロングトン; 17ショートトン)以上のトラックは、距離の59.1%が州内、20%が州間、13.8%がカナダとアメリカの間、7.1%がカナダ国外の走行である[4]

オンタリオ州ウィンザーミシガン州デトロイトの間にかかるアンバサダー橋では、カナダ・アメリカの貿易の4分の1が流通する

カナダでは、3140万立方メートル(198バレル)のガソリンと、991万立方メートル(62.3バレル)の軽油が消費されている[4]GDPのうち35%はトラック輸送、25%は鉄道、水運、航空となっている(パイプライン、観光交通/交通支援以外)[2]。従って、道路は、カナダの乗客・貨物輸送の優勢な手段となっている。

道路やハイウェイは、ノースウエスト・ハイウェイ・システム(アラスカ・ハイウェイ)やトランスカナダハイウェイプロジェクトが開始されるまで、州や自治体によって管理されていた。第二次世界大戦中の1942年、アラスカ・ハイウェイは、フェアバンクスアラスカ州)とフォート・セント・ジョンブリティッシュコロンビア州)を結ぶ軍事用の道路として開発された[5]。大陸横断ハイウェイ(国・州の運営)は、トランス・カナダ・ハイウェイ法のもと、1949年12月10日に始まった。7,821 km (4,860 mi)のハイウェイが完成したのは1962年で、14億$の予算がかかった[6]

国際的に、カナダはアメリカ本土48州アラスカ州にも道路が接続している。運輸省は、オンタリオ州の道路網を維持し、カナダ交通法及び関連法規を処理する目的で 執行官を雇用している[7][8]ニューブランズウィック州の運輸省も、同様の業務を行っている。

カナダ・ハイウェイに対する法規には、1971年の自動車安全法[9]、1990年のハイウェイ・トラフィック法がある[10]

航空

[編集]

Air transportation made up 9% of the transport sector's GDP generation in 2005. Canada's largest air carrier and its flag carrier is Air Canada, which had 34 million customers in 2006 and, as of April 2010, operates 363 aircraft (including Air Canada Jazz).[12] CHC Helicopter, the largest commercial helicopter operator in the world, is second with 142 aircraft[12] and WestJet, a low-cost carrier formed in 1996, is third with 96 aircraft.[12] Canada's airline industry saw significant change following the signing of the US-Canada open skies agreement in 1995, when the marketplace became less regulated and more competitive.[13]

The Canadian Transportation Agency employs transportation enforcement officers to maintain aircraft safety standards, and conduct periodic aircraft inspections, of all air carriers.[14] The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority is charged with the responsibility for the security of air traffic within Canada. In 1994 the National Airports Policy was enacted[15]

主要空港

[編集]

Of over 1,800 registered Canadian aerodromes, certified airports, heliports, and floatplane bases,[16] 26 are specially designated under Canada's National Airports System[17] (NAS): these include all airports that handle 200,000 or more passengers each year, as well as the principal airport serving each federal, provincial, and territorial capital. However, since the introduction of the policy only one, Iqaluit Airport, has been added and no airports have been removed despite dropping below 200,000 passengers.[18] The Government of Canada, with the exception of the three territorial capitals, retains ownership of these airports and leases them to local authorities. The next tier consists of 64 regional/local airports formerly owned by the federal government, most of which have now been transferred to other owners (most often to municipalities).[17]

Below is a table of Canada's ten biggest airports by passenger traffic in 2010.

鉄道

[編集]

In 2007, Canada had a total of 72,212 km (44,870 mi)[29] of freight and passenger railway, of which 31 km (19 mi) is electrified.[要出典] While intercity passenger transportation by rail is now very limited, freight transport by rail remains common. Total revenues of rail services in 2006 was $10.4 billion, of which only 2.8% was from passenger services. The Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railway are Canada's two major freight railway companies, each having operations throughout North America. In 2007, 357 billion tonne-kilometres of freight were transported by rail, and 4.33 million passengers travelled 1.44 billion passenger-kilometres (an almost negligible amount compared to the 491 billion passenger-kilometres made in light road vehicles). 34,281 people were employed by the rail industry in the same year.[30]

Nation-wide passenger services are provided by the federal crown corporation Via Rail. Three Canadian cities have commuter rail services: in the Montreal area by AMT, in the Toronto area by GO Transit, and in the Vancouver area by West Coast Express. Smaller railways such as Ontario Northland, Rocky Mountaineer, and Algoma Central also run passenger trains to remote rural areas.

In Canada railways are served by standard gauge, 4 ft 8+12 in (1,435 mm), rails. See also track gauge in Canada.

Canada has rail links with the lower 48 US States, but no connection with Alaska other than a train ferry service from Prince Rupert, British Columbia, although a line has been proposed.[31] There are no other international rail connections.

水上交通

[編集]
The Port of Vancouver, Canada's busiest port.

In 2005, 139.2 million tonnes of cargo was loaded and unloaded at Canadian ports.[32] The Port of Vancouver is the busiest port in Canada, moving 68 million tonnes or 15% of Canada's total in domestic and international shipping in 2003.[33]

Transport Canada oversees most of the regulatory functions related to marine registration,[34] safety of large vessel,[35] and port pilotage duties.[36] Many of Canada's port facilities are in the process of being divested from federal responsibility to other agencies or municipalities.[37]

Inland waterways comprise 3,000 km (1,900 mi), including the St. Lawrence Seaway. Transport Canada enforces acts and regulations governing water transportation and safety.[38]

Canals

[編集]
Welland Canal, Port Weller, Lock #1

The St. Lawrence waterway was at one time the world's greatest inland water navigation system. The main route canals of Canada are those of the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes. The others are subsidiary canals.

Ports and harbours

[編集]

The National Harbours Board administered Halifax, Saint John, Chicoutimi, Trois-Rivières, Churchill, and Vancouver until 1983. Over 300 harbours across Canada were supervised by the Department of Transport.[5] After divestiture Transport Canada oversees only 17 Canada Port Authorities for the 17 largest shipping ports.[40]

Merchant marine

[編集]

Canada's merchant marine comprised a total of 173 ships ( 1,000 総登録トン数 (GRT) or over) 2,129,243 GRT or 716,340 metric tons deadweight (DWT) at the end of 2007.[3]

パイプライン

[編集]
The TransCanada pipeline route

Pipelines are part of the energy extraction and transportation network of Canada and are used to transport natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, synthetic crude and other petroleum based products. Canada has 23,564 km (14,642 mi) of pipeline for transportation of crude and refined oil, and 74,980 km (46,590 mi) for liquefied petroleum gas.[3]

都市交通

[編集]
Some North American cities arranged by size along the horizontal axis and public transportation use on the vertical axis. Some American cities use less public transportation than some Canadian cities. Other cities in United States and Mexico, such as New York City and Mexico City, actually use more public transportation than the ones in Canada.

Most Canadian cities have public transportation, if only a bus system. Six Canadian cities have rapid transit systems and three have commuter rail systems (see below). In 2006, 11% of Canadians used public transportation to get to work. This compares to 80.0% that got to work using a car (72.3% by driving, 7.7% as a passenger), 6.4% that walked and 1.3% that rode a bike.[41]

Rapid transit systems

[編集]

There are six urban rapid transit systems operating in Canada: The Montreal Metro, the Toronto Subway, the Vancouver SkyTrain, the Calgary C-Train, the Edmonton Light Rail Transit and the O-Train in Ottawa.

Rapid transit in Canada
Location Transit Weekday Daily Ridership Length/Stations
Montreal, Quebec Montreal Metro 1,111,700 (Q1 2011)[42] 69.2 km/ 68

There is also an Airport Circulator, the LINK Train at Toronto Pearson International Airport. It operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is wheelchair-accessible. It is free of cost.

Commuter train systems

[編集]

Commuter trains exist in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver:

歴史

[編集]

European contact

[編集]

Aboriginal peoples in Canada, relied on canoes, kayaks, umiaks and Bull Boats, in addition to the snowshoe, toboggan and sled in winter for transportation prior to European contact. Europeans adopted these technologies as they pushed deeper into the continent's interior, and were thus able to travel via the waterways that fed from the St. Lawrence River and Hudson Bay.[50]

In the 19th century and early 20th century transportation relied on harnessing oxen to Red River ox carts or horse to waggon. Maritime transportation was via manual labour such as canoe or wind on sail. Water or land travel speeds was approximately 8 - 15 km/h (5 - 9 mph).[51]

Settlement was along river routes. Agricultural commodities were perishable, and trade centres were within 50 km (31 mi). Rural areas centred around villages, and they were approximately 10 km (6 mi) apart. The advent of steam railways and steamships connected resources and markets of vast distances in the late 19th century.[51] Railways also connected city centres, in such a way that the traveller went by sleeper, railway hotel, to the cities. Crossing the country by train took four or five days, as it still does by car. People generally lived within 5 mi (8 km) of the downtown core thus the train could be used for inter-city travel and the tram for commuting.

The advent of the interstate or Trans-Canada Highway in Canada in 1963 established ribbon development, truck stops, and industrial corridors along throughways.

Evolution

[編集]
Different parts of the country are shut off from each other by Cabot Strait, the Strait of Belle Isle, by areas of rough, rocky forest terrain, such as the region lying between New Brunswick and Quebec, the areas north of Lakes Huron and Superior, dividing the industrial region of Ontario and Quebec from the agricultural areas of the prairies, and the barriers interposed by the mountains of British Columbia — The Canada Year Book 1956[5]

The Federal Department of Transport established November 2, 1936, supervised railways, canals, harbours, marine and shipping, civil aviation, radio and meteorology. The Transportation Act of 1938 and the amended Railway Act, placed control and regulation of carriers in the hands of the Board of Transport commissioners for Canada. The Royal Commission on Transportation was formed December 29, 1948, to examine transportation services to all areas of Canada to eliminate economic or geographic disadvantages. The Commission also reviewed the Railway Act to provide uniform yet competitive freight-rates.[5]
