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.

Vehicle for Hire Administration suite
999900
In August 2022 Alertdriving launched a driver training program for Vehicle for Hire Drivers (“VFH V1.0”) licensed by the City of Toronto. To date, we have trained 10,000 drivers and expect another 25,000 in 2023. This will generate Alertdriving revenue of approximately $3.0M from August 2022 to December 2023. There are 299 other cities in North America that may require certification. The current program is not scaleable and requires:
• proctor Administration Suite in Alertdriving’s License Management System-efficiency
• exam/test by mobile device without having to attend in person at an Alertdriving examination center-efficiency and market requirement
• enable the assignment of individually assignable courses-additional revenue

Hazard Perception Evaluation
999899
HPE has been available to our customers since 2006 and is used to evaluate each driver against six major categories of driver behavior which are key to being a safe driver. HPE determines the training lessons each driver will be assigned based on the behavior which needs to change. The HPE module includes interactive videos, is browser-based, and currently is only used on a laptop or desktop. The need to make the HPE mobile-friendly has increased due to competitive pressures and requests from existing customers who are shifting to mobile devices. This project will make HPE usable on mobile phones by redesigning the user interface and maximizing the screen utilization on mobile devices across multiple OEMs, including Android and IOS.

Rideshare Targeted Training Project
951531
The rideshare market has seen rapidly expansion over the last 5 years. Currently, ride share authorities have no quick, efficient and low cost means to provide training for drivers. There is a significant need for an on-line system that would deliver the required training based on location and language. Furthermore, potential drivers would be able to purchase this training online, be certified and provide certification proof to the rideshare administration authorities. This project is designed to develop a rideshare solution to deliver this targeted driver training.

Proof of concept OEM content monetization project
939572
The telematics market is rapidly expanding with after-market products and built-in systems. Further new AI-powered platforms are entering the market to improve driver behaviour by predicting and reducing high risk events. While these products, systems and platforms generate a significant amount of accurate and actionable data, most providers have not linked targeted driver training to this data. This project is designed to develop an integrated OEM solution to deliver targeted driver training using the same driver training lessons that Alert Driving currently provides to its existing customers.
