Marine Transportation Resources: Maps & Charts

Guide to GIS by the Stephen B. Luce Library

The Geography of Transport Systems represents a project that has been ongoing for more than 20 years. It was initially funded by Industry Canada (1997-98) “NoteMakers: Development of World Wide Web-Based Post-Secondary Education Courses”, but rapidly expanded well beyond its initial scope which was to provide basic multimedia information about transport geography. The site has now become one of the most widely used transportation sources on the Internet, averaging about 120,000 unique visitors per month. It totals more than 1,460 independent web pages. It is continuously being updated as new material becomes available and web design technology evolves.
