The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) is calling for a modernized, risk-based approach to Transportation Security Clearances (TSC) that strengthens Canada\u2019s transportation security while allowing legitimate trucking operations to move efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In its response to Transport Canada\u2019s consultation on strengthening and expanding the TSC program, CTA noted that the threat environment facing Canada\u2019s trucking industry has changed significantly since 9\/11. While counterterrorism remains an important consideration, the sector is increasingly exposed to organized crime, drug trafficking, illegal firearms, contraband, labour exploitation and other illicit activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Alliance also pointed to growing concerns about organized crime in trucking, including \u201cchameleon carriers\u201d that close and re-establish under new corporate identities to avoid enforcement. Better identification of corporate ownership and operating histories could help prevent repeat offenders from re-entering the transportation system under a different name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The highly integrated nature of Canada-U.S. trade also makes coordination between transportation and border security agencies critical. More than three-quarters of trucks carrying U.S. exports into Canada and imports into the United States are Canadian-domiciled, underscoring the important role Canadian carriers play in maintaining secure and efficient cross-border trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CTA is also calling for dedicated, mode-specific consultation as the TSC program evolves. The decentralized nature of trucking, its workforce and operating structure, and the extent of cross-border activity create unique considerations that should be reflected in future requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CTA will continue working with Transport Canada and federal partners to develop a practical approach that identifies genuine security risks, avoids duplication of existing programs, strengthens oversight of transportation operators and supports the efficient movement of legitimate trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
