  • Abstract:
    The United States and Canada are each others largest trading partner. Trade and traffic between the countries, especially by land transportation, has been increasing at a rapid rate over the past 25 years. This study, produced by the Eastern Border Transportation Coalition (EBTC), is an assessment of the Canada-U.S. component of Transport Canada's 1999 National Roadside Study (NRS) of trucks traveling throughout Canada. Truck travel in both directions was surveyed on the Canadian side of Maine's border crossings with New Brunswick and Quebec; Vermont's crossings with Quebec; New York's crossings with Quebec and Ontario; Michigan's crossings with Ontario; Minnesota's crossings with Ontario; and Washington's crossings with British Columbia. The information in this report on U.S.-Canada truck freight covers origin and destination, major Canada-U.S. truck freight routes, commodity classification, weight and value and truck volumes by state/province and major border crossing. A description of the data collection process and general statistical summaries are provided, followed by more detailed analyses and forecasts of flows by state, province, and the 22 major border crossings. Lastly, recommendations are presented for interpreting these findings and to aid future data collection efforts.
