Canadian Trucking Alliance Unveils Clean-Air Plan
The trucking industry, "shares its workplace with the public and takes its responsibility to operating in a safe and environmentally sustainable way very seriously".
"Trucking is the dominant mode of freight transportation in Canada and will continue to be so. As such we have a major role to play in ensuring that air pollution and GHG emissions are minimized. We have been and will continue to play a leadership role and are calling upon the federal and provincial governments to work with us to achieve this."
- David Bradley, CTA CEO

Ottawa, ON - The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA), a federation of Canada's provincial trucking associations representing more than 4,500 trucking companies, has unveiled a 14-point action plan to drastically reduce smog and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the freight transportation sector.
The proposed measures, contained in a document titled "Trucking and a Made-in-Canada Clean Air Act" (PDF), would, according to CTA, have the equivalent impact in terms of air quality and GHG of removing over 200,000 heavy trucks from Canadian roads.
