Since the transportation sector plays an important role in business cycle propagation, we develop indicators for this sector to identify its current state, and predict its future. We define the reference cycle, including both business and growth cycles, for this sector over the period from 1979 using both the conventional National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) method and modern time series models. A one-to-one correspondence between cycles in the transportation sector and those in the aggregate economy is found; however, both business and growth cycles of transportation often start earlier and end later than those of the overall economy. We also construct an index of leading indicators for the transportation sector using rigorous statistical procedures, and is found to perform well as a forecasting tool.

A transportation indicator is a measure of change over time in the transportation system or in its social, economic, environmental, or other effects. Two National Research Council (NRC) studies recommended, as a matter of high priority, that the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) in the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) develop a consistent, easily understood, and useful set of key indicators of the transportation system. The NRC's Committee on National Statistics and its Transportation Research Board, which conducted these studies, convened a workshop on June 13, 2000. The purpose of the Workshop on Transportation Indicators was to discuss issues relating to transportation indicators and provide the Bureau of Transportation Statistics with new ideas for issues to address.

Since transportation activity is a dreived demand i.e. a demand based on the level and changes in economic activity, it grows when general economic activity grows and slows down during slower economic growth. This is the long term affinity (trend) between the two. Therefore, understanding the socioeconomic changes affecting the economy is essential in assessing the transportation sector's performance and prospects. During recent years, the economy and transportation have entered an era of important structural changes. Therefore the present muddling of the Canadian economy is not only the result of an economic business cycle (short term) but also the result of important structural changes (long term). Structural changes have two origins : changes realted to the supply of goods and services and those related to the demand for such goods and services. Over the last few years, major changes which may have had an effect on transportation as follows : Structural changes in Demand : Consumer bahavioral changes. A change in perception about common sense spending; consumers are now focusing more on their needs than on their want. Govenment behavioral changes. Higher structural deficits have forced governments to increase revenues, mostly through taxes, and to reduce expenditures thus reducing their contribution to economic growth. Redistribution of economic power. Within the OECD area, economic power has shifted from the U.S. to Japan and to the unified Europe. The Goods and Services Tax. The GST is one of the most important structural changes introduced over the last three decades. Structural changes in supply : two major oil price shocks. Ever since the first oil price shock, energy prices have been more widely, rigorously and frequently factored inot the cost function of the firm. Persistently higher real interest rates. This has been the norm over the last ten years. High unemployment. Most economics agree that an unemployment rate cannot be held below 8 per cent by aggregate demand stiumlation without generating higher inflation. Excess capacity. There is increased production capacity as a result of the Free Transde Agreement (FTA), Economic Regulatory Reform. On the one hand, the world-wide push for the reduction of tariff and non-tariff barriers has increased markets for producers. Higher Canadian Dollar. In the longer run, the Canadian econommy will be in better shape and this will drive up the Canadian dollar. Therefore, businesses can no longer rely on a lower dollar to sell their goods and services abroad. They will have to restructure their operations and they must do it now. There is little doubt that these long term adjustments are being felt particularly during the present phase of the business cycle and that they will make the road to recovery and expansion longer and harder than is usually the case. No matter how exacting such changes are in the short term, longer term benefits should soon be apparent in the form of the rationalization of the Canadian economy and the transportation sector which, in the longer term, are expected to be in a relatively better shape. In the meantime, Canadians will have to cope with these significant, painful but much needed adjustments. For the covering abstract of this conference, see IRRD number 854032.
