Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Road freight and decarbonization are currently decoupled in both academic literature and professional practice. As road freight is a major employer of Canadians and one of the nation’s most significant sources of carbon emissions, it is imperative to get decarbonization right. This article contributes to research on road freight, decarbonization, and governance by exploring how public-sector staff perceive their relationships with other levels of government. By employing semi-structured interviews with planners and engineers in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, we argue that greater attention and deliberate efforts to plan for road freight are needed. We find that across interviewees, the decarbonization of road freight was a minor responsibility across larger transportation portfolios, though there is strong interest in pursuing policies, strategies, and interventions aimed at decarbonizing goods movement.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
