2 2 Introduction Outline of Presentation Knowledge gap Core Public Infrastructure Federal investment State & Performance of Core Public Infrastructure Project Objectives Phase 1: Foundation Phase 2 Proposed Next Steps

3 3 Knowledge Gap / Data Challenge Federal government and partners acknowledged the need to support policies and investments with a more robust evidence base on Canada s public infrastructure Consensus around the need for: Comprehensive objective comparable data on the state and performance of Canada's infrastructure Baseline data to track issues and monitor progress Expanded asset management practices to improve investment effectiveness

4 4 Core Public Infrastructure (CPI) Core public infrastructure (CPI): roads, bridges, public transit, water and wastewater systems Basic services at community, regional, provincial and national levels critical to economic competitiveness, environmental sustainability and quality of life New stresses and varying factors (new demand, asset management capacity and practices, levels of investment, climate change) can affect state and level of service, with economic, environmental and public safety consequences

5 5 Federal Investments Since 1993, federal government has committed close to $60B towards public infrastructure, including $12B in new infrastructure stimulus over next two years ( ) Goal: strong, modern, world-class public infrastructure for a stronger economy, cleaner environment & safer communities Infrastructure Canada (INFC): Strategic investments, policies, research and key partnerships (other federal departments, other levels of government, the private sector and other stakeholders) to enhance Canada's public infrastructure Programs include the Building Canada Fund, the Gas Tax Fund, the Green Infrastructure Fund and the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund

6 6 State & Performance of Canada s Core Public Infrastructure Project

7 7 Objectives INFC leading new research project to improve knowledge on the state, performance & management of Canada s Core Public Infrastructure (CPI) to: Develop tools and methodologies to allow decision makers, owners and operators to assess current state of infrastructure report on its performance better manage assets

8 8 Phase 1: Foundation Completed 08/09 In 2008/09 INFC funded the National Research Council (NRC) and the National Round Table on Sustainable Infrastructure (NRTSI) to produce a Model Framework for the assessment of the state, performance and management of Canada s core public infrastructure Developed & approved by 50 plus key infrastructure stakeholders (see Annex I for members) Final Model Framework published July 2009 by partners (see framework at:

9 9 Phase 1: Framework Details Core Public Infrastructure: water, wastewater, roads, bridges, transit Triple bottom line approach - economy, society & environment Isolates key performance indices to support planning and investment decisions: Economic: costs, revenues, energy use Society: level of service, health and safety, asset condition Environment: emissions, environmental impacts, regulatory compliance, climate change impacts, man-made hazards NRC now finalizing more detailed report of recommendations for future code of practice work to accompany Framework

10 10 Phase 2-A: Work with Statistics Canada 09/10 Inventory Collect national inventory of core assets based on existing Statistics Canada surveys; assess and identify gaps; possible integration with new survey data (see Annex II for more details on inventory) New Core Public Infrastructure Survey Survey public asset owners (municipal, provincial/territorial and federal) questions based on NRC/NRTSI work validated by new National Advisory Committee (see Annex III for members) field tested by Statistics Canada Focus on both inventory and condition of core assets (water, wastewater, stormwater, roads, bridges, tunnels, transit) Data to be released at the Federal, Provincial, Census Metropolitan Area/Regional levels

11 11 Questions: Phase 2-A: CPI Survey Details What do we own? What is it worth? What condition is it in? What is their remaining life? How accurate is the data? What are current asset management practices? (see Annex IV for more details)

12 12 Phase 2-B: Post Survey 09/10 Publish Data: Inform partners and public of current condition of Canada s core infrastructure based on results of new Statistics Canada survey Analyze to demonstrate results and progress of federal infrastructure investments, including economic, environmental and social benefits

13 13 Inventory Phase 2: Timelines 09/10 Public Transit, Roads and Bridges Data: Sept 2009 Wastewater Treatment & Drinking Water Plants: Dec 2009 Survey Field testing: Sept 2009 Survey: Jan/Feb Data Published Spring 2010

14 14 Proposed Next Steps: 2011/14 Asset Management Focus Code of practice (toolkit) with scientific and engineering methods to measure and improve the state, performance and management of core public infrastructure to provide reliable quantitative approaches to asset owners on their inventory, its condition (including risk of failure, remaining service life) and to support planning and investment decisions target needs of small and medium-sized communities On-going Assessment Ongoing Statistics Canada survey of Core Public Infrastructure of F/P/T/M asset owners Possible expansion of survey
