In 2022, transportation in Canada released nearly 180 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCO₂) into the atmosphere. This was an increase of 7.3 percent in comparison to 2021 levels. In 2020, transportation emissions recorded a significant drop due to the outbreak of COVID-19, which had a major impact on mobility. Nevertheless, annual transportation emissions in Canada have experienced considerable growth in recent decades, having more than doubled between 1990 and 2022. Road transportation is by far the largest source of Canada's transportation emissions.
