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.

The Texas Offsetting Emissions Pilot (TOE) pilot partner, Movability, and the City of Austin have requested adding the ridesharing component of the Carbon Cred emissions reduction platform.
Ridesharing is additional work that was not part of the TOE pilot scope when company initially received IRAP funding. Ridesharing is essential for Texas because public/mass transportation is not adequate or sufficiently widespread for Austin's outlying residential areas. Therefore, to increase traction there is a need to increase the product offering to meet existing commuter demand.

As part of the international cleantech project “Texas Offsetting Emissions Pilot,” this project will focus on providing the City of Austin with the first mobile & cloud software platform to reward environmentally conscious transportation behaviors, like choosing public transit over single occupancy vehicle trips. When a driver cuts their emissions we will pay them relative to the amount of emissions they avoided, transforming climate action from the altruistic to self-interest. Key features include pollution monitoring, enabling real-time emissions reductions surge pricing to enhance Austin’s efforts to reduce personal vehicle usage on days with traffic and poor air quality.
