About
WHAT IS THE CART NETWORK
DalTRAC was awarded $3.6 million through Canada's Climate Action and Awareness Fund (CAAF) for a new project aimed at monitoring emissions at a local level to inform future climate mitigation strategies. To support such a large, federally funded research project the Climate Action Research for Transportation (CART) Network was established. Over the next five-years, the project team will focus on developing new data, tools, and processes to characterize the movements of people and goods and quantify finer-grained, geospatially resolved vehicular emissions (i.e., greenhouse gases (GHGs) and air pollutants) in multiple Canadian cities. CART Net's research and modelling will provide data and knowledge Canada needs to meet its 2050 net zero emissions target.

WHO MAKES UP THE CART NETWORK
The CART Network is made up of researchers from universities across Canada. With our partners based out of Dalhousie University, McMaster University, the University of British Columbia, and the University of Toronto, the CART Network is able to leverage existing data, methods, and research infrastructure to achieve our research goals. We are proud to recognize our academic partners, who include:​
Dr. Daniel Rainham
Dalhousie University
Professor, School of Health an Human Performance
Dr. Masud Rahman
Dalhousie University
Assistant Professor, Faculty of Computer Science
Dr. Ali Ülkü

INDUSTRY, COMMUNITY, AND GOVERNMENT PARTNERS
The Climate Action Research for Transportation (CART) Network builds upon DalTRAC's long-standing partnerships with municipal and provincial governments. These existing and new collaboration opportunities facilitate interactions between scholars in engineering, planning, risk governance, environmental science, management, public health, and computer science to develop technically robust but operationally feasible emissions tools.
