The National Trade Corridors Fund (NTCF) is a federal program investing in transportation infrastructure that supports Canadian trade and economic growth. The fund supports projects at ports, airports, rail facilities, and road connections that move goods efficiently to domestic and international markets. While primarily targeting nationally significant infrastructure, the fund can benefit municipalities hosting trade facilities or connected to trade corridors. Projects improving freight movement through urban areas, addressing bottlenecks, or enhancing intermodal connections may receive NTCF support. The program recognizes that efficient trade infrastructure benefits the national economy and depends on functional transportation networks often involving municipal infrastructure.
