Abstract In Canada, transportation regulation has evolved in response to the country's unique economic and demographic conditions—a land mass larger than that of the U.S.A. with one-tenth the population, as well as the social and political demands of nation building. Over the last 25 years, the general direction of transport policy has been toward less regulation in response to clear indications that actual and potential competition has been increasing, and as a result of the maturing of the industry. In contrast, where regulation can serve to prevent disruption of services or the abuse of monopoly power, it has been maintained. This paper outlines the trends in transport policy both before and after the passage of the National Transportation Act of 1967, which embodies the above principle. Regulatory practices and issues are examined on a modal basis, and future directions for transport policy are commented upon.
