Transport Canada Multimodal Safety Inspections by Region and Program

Transport Canada's Multimodal Safety and Security Programs Oversight Delivery Indicators contain the number of completed inspections by programs, activities, and administrative regions. The data starts with the four quarters of the 2017-2018 federal government fiscal year. It is published by Statistics Canada on the open_canada platform.

Use Cases

• Analyze inspection trends over time based on quarterly reporting.
• Compare oversight activity levels across different administrative regions.
• Evaluate program-level safety and security enforcement based on inspection counts.

Strengths

• Data is structured by federal government fiscal year quarters, providing a consistent time series.
• Inspection counts are disaggregated by programs, activities, and administrative regions.
• The dataset is published under the OGL-CA-2.0 license, allowing for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-07-06).
