Grants and Contributions

About this information

In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.

The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.

Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Smart Roadways

Agreement Number:

1002836

Duration: from Jan 1, 2023 to Dec 31, 2024
Description:

Smart Roadways allows agencies to safely and cost-effectively reach the largest network of commercial truck drivers through digital in-cab alerting that is proven to improve driver behavior and reduce collisions. The project will increase Drivewyze system capacity and agility to support immense volumes of data from a growing volume of trucks on our network, and seamless deployment of new applications that meet Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) market needs for improved safety and efficiency. Drivewyze can then deliver products without service interruptions or the sacrifice of quality. The project will build an enhanced Connected Truck platform of flexible and data-focussed architecture and will help form a robust Connected Truck Network.
