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.

Digital Intersection GHG Reduction Estimation Project
1029018
Transportation is responsible for 25% of Canada’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with passenger cars and light trucks responsible for nearly half of that total, primarily in the form of carbon dioxide (C02). Traffic congestion is part of the problem. A 2009 University of California study showed that reducing congestion – keeping traffic flowing at moderate speeds and smoothing traffic so that there are fewer accelerations and decelerations – can reduce C02 emissions from vehicle traffic by approximately 30%.This project will produce a modern traffic signal infrastructure using digital technologies capable of optimizing traffic signal timing to reduce congestion and the GHG emissions it causes. It will also create a global standard for quantifying the resulting GHG emission reductions, enabling cities and towns to measure the contribution improving traffic makes to reaching Canada’s GHG reduction targets.

Advanced Traffic Analytics for Smart Mobility
906022
Miovision plans to expand its expertise in traffic analytics and computer vision to enable enhanced situational awareness on the roadway. This will allow Miovision’s traffic operations solutions to detect traffic events and provide real-time alerts to traffic operations centres using APIs and through a user interface. It will also allow Miovision to report on surrogate safety measures, helping transit authorities to improve the safety and efficiency of roadways for all road users.
