Strachan,\nMinister of Transport and Communications,\nVictoria, British Columbia.\nSir: I have the honour to submit for your consideration the first Annual Report\nof the Department of Transport and Communications.\nInasmuch as 1973 was a transitional year for the Department, and, in order\nto bridge the gap between calendar year and fiscal year reporting, this Report\npresents a record of activities from January 1, 1973, to March 31, 1974. It is\nintended that all future Annual Reports will be on a fiscal year basis.\nThe creation of the Department of Transport and Communications has enabled\nthe Government to respond more rationally and efficiently to the major transportation and communications challenges facing British Columbia. Access to the North,\nto cite an example, is an area where transportation and communications aspects\nare clearly inter-related. Transportion can be seen as the development of pathways\nfor the carriage of people and things; communications as the development of pathways for the carriage of information and ideas.\nLaying aside the conceptual inter-relationship between transportation and communications, Departmental integration was necessitated by the growing requirement\nfor policy and planning co-ordination in both the transport and communications\nsectors. Transportation is more than ferries or roads or airports, while communications is more than radio or television or telephones. Each is a series of inter-related\nnetworks of systems, services, and facilities.\nThough of major importance, policy development and planning reflect only\ntwo of the Department of Transport and Communications' many faces. The entire\nrange of Departmental activity during the fical year ended March 31, 1974, is\nexplored in the body of this Report.\nC. M. DALFEN\nDeputy Minister of\nTransport and Communications\n Report of the Department of Transport and\nCommunications\nINTRODUCTION\nThe year 1973 was one of transition and reorganization for the Department of\nTransport and Communications.\nHISTORICAL SKETCH\nIn 1959 an Act of the Legislature established the Department of Commercial\nTransport, incorporating into it the former Railway Department, the Weigh Scale\nSection of the Department of Highways, and the Commercial Vehicle Section of the\nMotor-vehicle Branch of the Attorney-General's Department. Among the Acts\nwhich the Department administered were the Pipe-lines Act, the Industrial Transportation Act, and the Mines Rights-of-way Act.\nThe responsibilities of the Department of Commercial Transport remained\nvirtually unchanged until May 25, 1973, when an Order in Council established a\nMinister of Commercial Transport and Communications. On July 13, 1973, a\nfurther Order in Council designated the Honourable R. M. Strachan Minister of\nTransport and Communications.\nThe 1973 Fall Session of the Legislature saw the passage of the Department of\nTransport and Communications Act. To the functions previously undertaken by\nthe Department of Commercial Transport, this Act added those of the Motor-vehicle\nBranch of the Attorney-General's Department; the Data Processing Centre of the\nDepartment of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce; aircraft operations,\nboth from the Department of Highways and the Department of Lands, Forests, and\nWater Resources; Government telecommunications services from the Department of\nPublic Works; the Motor Carrier Branch, and the Telecommunications Consultants\nBranch formerly under the Public Utilities Commission; and B.C. Ferries and the\nminor coastal ferries from the Department of Highways.\n11\n (Senbr (Staff\nC. M.

Shaw,\nAdministrative Officer\n K 14 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nORGANIZATION\nThe Department of Transport and Communications has both operational and\nplanning and policy responsibilities.\nThe functions of the Department can be outlined as follows:\nI. Transport Operations\nAircraft Branch\nThis Branch provides aircraft services to all departments of Government.\nIncluded are personnel transportation, aerial photography, and emergency medical\nservice.\nEngineering Branch\nThis Branch is responsible for processing construction applications and inspecting railways, oil and natural gas pipe-lines, aerial tramways, and industrial\nroads and bridges. It is also responsible for the inspection of logging equipment\noperating on private roads.\nThe Branch certifies operating personnel for railways, aerial tramways, and\nindustrial road equipment, and in addition works in close liaison with the Department of Mines and the Motor-vehicle Branch to standardize safety requirements.\nMotor Carrier Branch\nThe Motor Carrier Branch is the operating arm of the Motor Carrier Commission,* a three-man regulatory board appointed by Cabinet.\nThe role of the Branch is to investigate permit applications for the transport\nof goods or persons for compensation on British Columbia highways. Following\ninvestigation, all applications are passed to the Commission for a decision. Once\na decision has been rendered, the application is passed back to the Motor Carrier\nBranch for processing. Another responsibility of the Branch is the investigation of\ncomplaints from carrier operators. Motor Carrier Branch headquarters are in Vancouver and there are seven Branch offices throughout the Province.\nEnforcement under the Motor Carrier Act is undertaken by weigh-scale operators who ensure that goods transported by freight carrier concur with conditions of\nlicence. In addition, enforcement is also carried out under the Motor Vehicle\nTransport Act (Canada). In this instance, the Federal Government has delegated\nauthority to the Motor Carrier Commission to act as its legal arm. The Federal\nMotor Vehicle Transport Act applies to drivers operating between provinces, for\nexample, an Alberta carrier has to obtain authority from British Columbia before\noperating in this Province.\nMotor-vehicle Branch\nThe Motor-vehicle Branch is the Provincial agency responsible for vehicle\nregistration and licensing, vehicle inspection, driver licensing, and vehicle and driver\nsafety programs. Among other Branch functions are the licensing of all bonded\nmotor-vehicle dealers in the Province and the maintenance of a Central Registry\nfor the recording of documents filed under the Bills of Sale Act, the Conditional\nSales Act, the Mechanics' Lien Act, and the Assignment of Book Accounts Act.\n* The Motor Carrier Commission is required by section 35 of the Motor Carrier Act to publish its own\nAnnual Report. A complete description of the Commission's activities and responsibilities can be found in\nthat document.\n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS K 15\nWeigh Scale Branch\nThis Branch maintains 40 truck weigh-scale stations at various points throughout the Province, augmented by 20 portable units. These stations issue permits for\nvehicles and loads which exceed legal limit in size or weight. Another major function\nis the recording and the reviewing of all accidents involving commercial vehicles\nhaving a gross weight exceeding 40,000 pounds.\nWeigh-scale operators are responsible for ensuring that the following Acts are\ncomplied with: Commercial Transport Act, Motor-vehicle Act, Motor Carrier Act,\nMotor Fuel Tax Act, and certain aspects of the Brands Act, the Forest Act, the\nSocial Services Tax Act, and the Motor Vehicle Transport Act (Canada).\nII. Transportation, Planning, and Research\nTransportation, planning, and research are among the most essential responsibilities of the Department. The co-ordination of planning among modes (e.g., road,\ntransit, rail, marine) and analysis of the operations, the economics and the development impact of the transportation system as it presently exists and as it may evolve\nare crucial to the future orderly development of the Province.\nThe Branch evaluates major projects and expenditures in the transportation\nfield for their social, economic, and financial viability; it reviews policies, regulations,\nand user charges pertaining to transportation; and it prepares long-range plans to\nmeet the goals of the Province. Transportation sector surveys are undertaken by\nregion and by mode of transport, to identify deficiencies, and to recommend solutions\nwhich will further economic development. An important function of the Branch\nwill be to interact with transportation agencies in other provinces and the Federal\nGovernment, as well as with the different sectors of the transportation industry.\nAn experienced multidisciplined staff is being assembled to perform these tasks.\nIII. Ferries\nB.C. Ferries\nThe B.C. Ferries Service was inaugurated in June 1960 to provide an efficient\nlink between the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. Service has been constantly improved and expanded and today 25 ferries operate on 12 routes. Service\nis offered between Tsawwassen and Swartz Bay, Departure Bay and Horseshoe Bay,\nHorseshoe Bay and Langdale, Horseshoe Bay and Snug Cove, Saltery Bay and\nEarl's Cove, Swartz Bay and Fulford Harbour, an Outer Gulf Islands service,\nTsawwassen and Long Harbour, Crofton and Vesuvius Bay, Kelsey Bay and Beaver\nCove, Kelsey Bay and Prince Rupert, and Brentwood and Mill Bay.\nThe Ferry Service has its maintenance and repair shops and refitting and layup\nberths at Deas Dock on the Fraser River.\nCoastal Ferries\nLong before the establishment of the B.C. Ferries Service, the B.C. Government maintained a number of ferry routes which serviced isolated coastal communities. These services were not integrated with B.C. Ferries but were under\nthe jurisdiction of the Department of Highways. Though jurisdiction has passed\nto the Department of Transport and Communications, the Highways Department\ncontinues to operate the system for the time being. Service is offered between\nComox and Powell River, Woodfibre and Darrell Bay, Sointula, Alert Bay and Port\nMcNeill, and to Cortes, Denman, Gabriola, Hornby, Quadra, Texada, and Thetis\nIslands.\n K 16 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nIV. Communications\nTelecommunications Services Branch\nThis Branch is responsible for the provision, maintenance, and operation of\nnearly all telecommunications services required by Provincial Government departments. Services include telephone, teleprinter, fascimile, and data transmission.\nSystem Development and Regulation Branch\nThis Branch is responsible for developing policy recommendations and administering Departmental programs to facilitate the effective utilization of communication systems by the British Columbia public.\nOn the system development side, the role of the Branch is to try and answer\nsuch questions as\u2014what do residents of British Columbia require with regard to\ncommunications? how should these needs be provided? who should provide? and in\nwhat order of priority? Another system development function is the provision of\ngeneral guidance and assistance to those in remote and sparsely populated areas\nfor the purpose of helping them obtain basic communications services.\nOn the regulation side, the Branch is concerned with the rates charged and the\nstandard of service offered by the telephone and cable television companies which\nserve British Columbia.\nComputer and Consulting Services\nThis Branch provides a variety of computer and consulting services to Governments departments, agencies, boards, and commissions. Responsibilities include the\noperation of three computers; the design and implementation of computer programs;\nand consultative assistance to Government clients on systems, procedures, and\nmethod analysis, and program planning and content.\nStatutes\nStatutes administered directly or indirectly by the Department of Transport\nand Communication are\nDepartment of Transport and Communications Act.\nAll-terrain Vehicles Act.\nBritish Columbia Ferry Authority (Vesting) Act, 1968\nCommercial Transport Act.\nForest Act.\nIndustrial Transportation Act.\nMines Rights-of-way Act.\nMotor Carrier Act.\nMotor Fuel Tax Act.\nMotor-vehicle Act.\nPipe-lines Act.\nRailway Act.\nSocial Services Tax Act.\nMotor Vehicle Transport Act (Canada).\n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS K 17\nTRANSPORT OPERATIONS\nAIR SERVICES BRANCH\nT. B. Toye, Chief Pilot\nThe following is an outline of aircraft activities for the year under report:\nTwo Cessna\/Citation Jets became part of the fleet during the year, and as a\nresult two Beechcraft 18's were retired.\nThe first jet was test-flown for acceptance on August 1, 1973. It was then\nflown to Victoria where it was placed into service with the first passenger run on\nAugust 5, 1973. The second jet was delivered in Victoria August 20, 1973, and\nplaced into service August 26, 1973.\nOne retired Beechcraft CF-BCB was transferred to the school in Burnaby,\nwhile the other was transferred to Selkirk College on January 14, 1974. Due to\nlack of facilities at Castlegar, the aircraft was left in Victoria with permission to use\nif required. Consequently it was used for training purposes and a few scheduled\ntrips to Vancouver where regular aircraft were unserviceable.\nTwo Beechcraft 18's which were under Lands Department supervision until\nApril 1, 1974, were used for aerial photography, while the Turbo Beech 18 was\nflown as the major mainstay until delivery of the Citations. Since the jets arrived,\nthis aircraft has given excellent service as the major piece of equipment used on the\nVancouver schedule runs.\nThe Beaver aircraft based at Kamloops was used for personnel transport, game\ninspection, game counts, and photo work, to name a few of its uses.\nAt the time of writing, two Beechcraft A200 aircraft were on order to be used\nfor high-altitude photo work in the summer and on passenger transport in the winter.\nPERSONNEL\nDuring this period there were 10 pilots on staff with one other on a summer-\nonly basis. On September 1, 1973, the temporary pilot left our employ and a pilot\nwas transferred from another department to this Branch.\nTRAINING\nAll pilots were trained on the Cessna\/Citation at the American Airlines Flight\nAcademy in Fort Worth, Texas. Six captains attained Captain's rating and four\nco-pilots attained First Officer status. All pilots graduated. The engineering staff\ntook the maintenance course, which was also given at American Airlines Academy.\nAll were successful in attaining the desired standards. A Singer-Link Simulator for\npilot training was ordered for delivery in 1975.\nPASSENGER FLIGHTS\nOn September 1, 1973, a scheduled service comprising four round-trips daily\nexcept Saturday and Sunday was started between Victoria and Vancouver. This\nproved very popular and on March 1, 1974, an increase of one round-trip flight was\nadded. Scheduled flights have not been started to other areas due to the irregular\nnature of travel requests. All other flights are on a nonscheduled basis, being on\nrequest for times and destinations. Every effort is made to fill the aircraft on each\nflight.\n K 18\nBRITISH COLUMBIA\nAEROVACS\nThis was the first year that we have been called upon to carry sick or injured\npersons on ambulance transferrals in conjunction with the Armed Services out of\nComox. There have been 25 aerovac trips since commencing this service, the first\ncall from the RCC (Rescue Co-ordination Centre) being on September 26, 1973.\nHours Flown by Aircraft (Air Time)\nApr. 1 to\nMay 24,1973\nMay 25, 1973, to\nMar. 31,1974\nTotal\nBCB\t\n76.2\n97.4\n29.5\n54.8\n88.2\n194.7\n504.3\n498.3\n350.1\n302.4\n164.4\nBCC\t\nBCF\t\nBCL\t\nBCM\t\nFHF\t\n292.1\n533.8\n498.3\n350.1\n357.2\n257.9\n1,938.0\n2,195.9\nVancouver\nTrip\nSeats\nPassengers\nOther\nTrip\nSeats\nPassengers\nTotal\nTrip\nSeats\nPassengers\nCF-BCB (five seats)\u2014\nHighways, Apr. 1, 1973, to May 24, 1973 _\t\nTransport and Communications, May 25, 1973, to\nAug. 31, 1974.\nScheduled, Sept. 1, 1973, to Mar. 31, 1974..\nYear totals\t\nCF-BCC (five seats) \u2014\nHighways, Apr. 1, 1973, to May 24, 1973- _\t\nTransport and Communications, May 25, 1973, to\nAug. 31, 1973.\nScheduled, Sept. 1, 1973, to Mar. 31, 1974 .\nYear totals\t\nCF-BCF (seven seats)\u2014\nHighways, Apr. 1, 1973, to May 24, 1973\t\nTransport and Communications, May 25, 1973, to\nAug. 31, 7973\t\nScheduled, Sept. 1, 1973, to Mar. 31, 1974\t\nYear totals\t\nCF-BCL (six seats) (jet)\u2014Aug. 1973, to Mar. 31,\n1974\t\nCF-BCM (six seats) (jet)\u2014Aug. 1973, to Mar. 31,\n1974 \t\nComplete year\/fleet grand total \t\n680\n850\n40\n230\n249\n13\n80\n160\n33\n63\n760\n1,010\n40\n1,570\n492 |\n240\n350 |\nI\n740 I\n650 I\n123\n276\n283\n150\n26\n80\n1,740\n682 |\n256\n...._ |\n756 I\n6,804 |\n260\n2,343\n168\n840\n518\n7,560 | 2,603 J 1,526\n48\n1,656\n156\n57\n1,764\n11,170 | 3,882 [ 5,442\n263\n312\n13\n96\n1,810\n608\n70\n85\n28\n500\n766\n730\n193\n361\n311\n183\n1,996\n865\n77\n340\n166\n168\n1,596\n8,330\n77\n600\n2,509\n583\n10,094\n3,186\n997\n1,800\n1,045\n883\n1,920\n940\n2,742 | 16,612 | 6,624\nCF-FHF (Beaver KA based) \u2014\nTotal hours flown\t\nTrips for Highways Department\t\nTrips for Wildlife Department \t\nTrips for miscellaneous departments\n437.6\n80\n76\n24\nMany of these trips were for photo and game count and inspection where only one observer would be on\nboard.

W. Turnbull, Chief Inspecting Engineer\nMajor effort has been given in the past fiscal year to establishing a pre-scheduled\ninspection program for each industry to assure thorough coverage of all important\nassignments while at the same time providing for more flexibility in the area of\nemergency calls.\nA summary of inspection activities follows:\nI. BRITISH COLUMBIA RAILWAY\nFollowing established procedures, inspections were conducted throughout the\nyear covering trackage, rolling-stock, and motor power.\nA. Line Inspections\nInspections were completed of the railway between Fort Nelson and Prince\nGeorge. The section of track from Fort Nelson to Fort St. John, which initially\nwas somewhat unstable, showed noticeable improvement, though some areas had not\nstabilized as anticipated. From Fort St. John south to Prince George it is anticipated that continued surveillance and standard repair procedures will cope with\nprevailing conditions.\nIn June 1973 an inspection was carried out on the Dease Lake Extension. At\nthe time of inspection, steel ended at Mile 197.5. In general, the track was found\nto be in good condition with construction continuing at a steady pace.\nB. Equipment and Yard Inspections\nAll shops used for the repair of diesel locomotives and rolling-stock were inspected and found to be in good order. As well, all main-line yard facilities were\ninspected and found to be well maintained.\nII. BRITISH COLUMBIA HYDRO AND POWER\nAUTHORITY RAILWAY\nIn December 1973 an inspection was made by rail car of the rail-line between\nNew Westminster, Chilliwack, and Sumas. The railroad was found to be in good\ncondition and well maintained. The railway yard and car shops were found to be\nin good order, as were the locomotives.\nIII. INDUSTRIAL RAILWAYS\nThe Canadian Forest Products railway in the Nimpkish Valley was inspected\nin June 1973. Track and bridge maintenance continued at a high standard and all\nequipment relating to the railway was tested and certificates issued. The Crown\nZellerbach railroad from Ladysmith to Nanaimo Lakes was inspected in March 1973.\nGenerally the track was found to be in good alignment and well maintained. Locomotives and in-plant trackage were inspected during the fiscal year at Port Alberni,\nHarmac, Elk Falls, Crofton, Quesnel, Prince George, Mackenzie, Prince Rupert,\nFort St. James, and Houson. In all cases Departmental requirements were met. In\naddition, inspections were undertaken of waterfront switching in the Vancouver,\nNew Westminster, and Squamish areas, of bulk petroleum storage plants adjacent\nto Provincially inspected rail-lines, and of recreational railways in Vancouver,\nDuncan, and Fort Steele.\n K 20 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nIV. AERIAL TRAMWAYS\nAt present, British Columbia has about 100,000 skiers. The skier population\nis served by some 230 lifts at 88 ski areas stretching from Fort Nelson to the United\nStates border. An off-season inspection program has been started by the Branch\nand during the past fiscal year some 200 individual lift inspections were undertaken.\nDuring the year, not one lift accident could be attributed to mechanical failure.\nThe Province's industrial reversible tramways were inspected during the summer months and it was noted that all upgrading work recommended during the\nprevious year's inspection had been attended to.\nV. PIPE-LINES\nOver 70 miles of new pipe-lines were constructed in the northern fields from\nJanuary 1973 to the end of March 1974. Forty-three pipe-line inspections were\nconducted on new pipe-line construction to ensure compliance with pipe-line code\nstandards and 54 endurance tests were witnessed on these and on various older oil\npipe-lines.\nFifty-three natural gas compressor stations, 27 oil pumping-stations, and 27\nwater-injection pumping stations were inspected. These stations, for the most part,\nwere maintained in a safe and proper manner.\nFour oil pipe-line terminal installations were inspected to ensure that tanks,\nfirewalls, fire safety, and housecleaning met code requirements, and that monitoring\nof oil-flow rates was adequate to detect small oil leaks.\nOil pipe-line surveys, by flying over the right-of-way with aircraft, at intervals\nof one month, or when leaks were suspected, were conducted on all oil pipe-lines\nin the Peace River area. Two of the oil spills were detected in this manner.\nThirteen oil pipe-line failures were recorded during the year with a total spillage\nof 12,160 barrels of crude oil. Two natural gas pipe-line failures occurred\u2014one as\na result of a landslide on the North Bank of the Peace River and the other as a result\nof a pipe-seam failure.\nThe North Eastern B.C. Environmental Control Co-operative, whose members\ninclude most of the oil companies in the district, have completed the topographical\nmapping of oil fields and plotting of control points. Equipment and personnel are\navailable on very short notice to combat oil spills, whether on land or in watercourses.\nOil Spills, January 1,1973, to March 31,1974\nBarrels\nTrans Prairie, Beatton River 2,000 October 2, 1973\nB.P.

INDUSTRIAL ROADS\nThe continued expansion of logging operations resulted in a substantial increase\nin the number of logging-trucks operating on industrial roads and public highways\nduring the year, with the greater percentage being of the highway logger type, used\nin Interior logging operations. These trucks, which are either owner-operated or\nowned by small companies, are used for hauling to various sawmills or pulp-mills\nand not always to the same place. As a result, it is impossible for Vancouver-based\nInspectors to inspect all trucks in any one area. To help overcome this problem,\nnine Portable Weigh-scale Operators were given a one-week course in air-brake\nsystems and inspection procedure by the Engineering Branch. Twenty air-brake\nlectures were conducted in various parts of the Interior. Attendance and interest\nmade it clear that these lectures should be a continuing part of the Department's\nactivities.\nDuring this past fiscal year, Vancouver Island logging operations, trucks, and\nequipment not covered in the 1972 inspection program were examined. Although\nsome trucks were found faulty due to neglect, it was noted that for the most part\nlogging-trucks were being well maintained.\nThe number of air-brake lectures held on Vancouver Island substantially\nincreased over the previous year to a total of 16. These were held in the same areas\nwhere the truck inspections took place.\nDuring the period from January 1, 1973, to the end of March 1974 a total of\n1,114 new logging-trucks was recorded as being manufactured for service on industrial roads. Included in this total are both off-highway and highway-size logging-\ntrucks. The total number of new logging-trucks entering service in the last three\nyears is 2,832.\nThe number of reported accidents on industrial roads showed an increase over\n1972, with a total of 17. Two of these accidents resulted in fatalities. The major\naccidents were investigated by Inspectors from the Department and their findings\nindicate that poorly adjusted brakes or driver error were the main causes of the\naccidents.\n K 22 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nMOTOR CARRIER BRANCH\nA.

Fitch, Superintendent\nFrom 1939 until the summer of 1973 the Motor Carrier Act was administered\nby the Public Utilities Commission, a body created by a statute, the Public Utilities\nAct.\nIn 1973, as a result of the passing of the Energy Act, the Public Utilities Commission was abolished and its functions distributed to various departments of the\nGovernment. As a result, the Motor Carrier Branch became a part of a new\nProvincial Department, the Department of Transport and Communications, and a\nnew Commission, the Motor Carrier Commission,* was created to perform regulatory functions under the Motor Carrier A ct.\nNo significant changes were made by this legislation to the provisions of the\nMotor Carrier Act.\nThe Motor Carrier Act and regulations provide for the regulation by the\nMotor Carrier Commission of the business of transporting goods or persons by\nmotor-vehicle for compensation on British Columbia highways. Before such for-\nhire operations can be lawfully conducted in the Province the carrier must obtain\na motor carrier operating authority licence from the Commission through the Motor\nCarrier Branch of the Department of Transport and Communications. The Commission may grant or refuse a licence authority to transport for compensation.\nENFORCEMENT\nMotor Carrier Inspectors, in addition to investigating some 3,000 applications\nfor new or altered licences, as well as complaints lodged by shippers (or carriers)\nas to the nature and calibre of services provided, continued to work co-operatively\nwith the various enforcement agencies.\nGenerally speaking, enforcement of the licensing provisions of the Act is\nconducted by the various police forces of the Province, including the Royal Canadian\nMounted Police in their capacity as the Provincial Police Force. In addition to\nthis, the Weigh-scale Branch assisted by checking for infractions of provisions of\nthe Motor Carrier Act at weigh stations, which helped provide a closer supervision\nof the trucking industry than would otherwise be possible.\nREVENUE\nUnder Appendix A, revenue has been calculated for the period January 1,\n1973, to March 31, 1974. As that period encompasses part of three licence-years,\nthe analysis has been broken down as 1972\/73, 1973\/74, and 1974\/75.\nNUMBER OF LICENCES\nAppendix B outlines a number of licences issued for the licence-year 1973\/74.\nRecords show a yearly increase ranging from 8 to 10 per cent.\nTEMPORARY PERMITS\nIn order to provide flexibility, Part 10 of the Regulations Pursuant to the\nMotor Carrier Act provides for the issuing of temporary permits in lieu of or as an\nadjunct to motor carrier licences.\n* Constituted under one of a number of amendments made to the Motor Carrier Act by the Energy Act.\n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS\nK 23\nThe following is a summary of the number of temporary permits issued during\nlicence-years 1972\/73, 1973\/74, and 1974\/75 up until November 28, 1974:\nClass II Permits (for temporary operations as a public\nor limited vehicle not exceeding 92 days) 4,467\nFP Permits (for operation of a licensed public or limited vehicle temporarily in a manner other than is\nauthorized by the licence, or pending consideration\nof an application for licence, renewal, alteration,\nor transfer of licence, etc.) 18,316\nTemporary Permits (issued for the transportation of\nhousehold goods to carriers from Provinces having\nreciprocity agreements with the Province of British\nColumbia respecting commercial motor-vehicle\nlicences) 1,468\nAPPENDIX A\n1972\/73 LICENCE-YEAR\n(January 1 to February 28, 1973)\n$ $\nPassenger (buses) 93.00\nPassenger (taxi) 126.00\nPublic and limited freight 3,027.97\nPermits 3,833.50\nMiscellaneous 1,265.95\n 8,346.42\n1973\/74 LICENCE-YEAR\n(March 1, 1973 to February 28, 1974)\nPassenger (buses) 60,782.00\nPassenger (taxi) 34,278.50\nPublic and limited freight 564,211.20\nPermits 22,561.00\nMiscellaneous 12,869.93\n694,702.63\n1974\/75 LICENCE-YEAR\n(March 1, 1974 to March 31, 1975)\nPassenger (buses)\nPassenger (taxi)\n54,759.00\n33,798.50\nPublic and limited freight 478,490.50\nPermits 2,222.00\nMiscellaneous 1,180.00\n570,450.00\nTotal revenue, January 1, 1973 to March 31, 1974 1,273,499.05\nAPPENDIX B\nThe following table for licence-year 1973\/74 gives the number of licences for the various\nclasses issued:\nKind of Licence\nPassenger (buses) 1,270\nPassenger (taxi) , . 1,908\nPublic freight 14,288\nLimited freight 2,353\nTotal\n19,819\n K 24 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nMOTOR-VEHICLE BRANCH\nR. A. Hadfield, Superintendent\nThis report deals with activities of the Branch during the year 1973 and\nprovides an accounting for the various aspects of licence issuance for the 19*73\nlicence-year which ended on February 28, 1974.\nThe volume of business transacted by the Motor-vehicle Branch in 1973 is\nindicated by the following issuance totals: Motor-vehicle and motor-cycle registrations reached a total of 1,281,917, an increase of 7.55 per cent over trie 1972 total\nof 1,191,953. Passenger-type motor-vehicles licensed in 1973 numbered 961,497,\nan increase of 55,229 over the 1972 total of 906,268. Commercial vehicles\nincreased by 30,612. For 1973 the total for commercial vehicles was 286,925\ncompared with 256,313 in 1972. The general public still shows interest in motorcycles, with 33,495 registrations in 1973, an increase of 14.04 per cent, up 4,123\nfrom the 1972 total of 29,372. Trailer registrations continued to increase with\n171,869 recorded, an increase of 15,726 over the 1972 figure of 156,143. Camping\nand boat trailers accounted for the major part of this increase, indicating that British\nColumbia residents are continuing to enjoy the outdoors. Drivers licence issuance\nshowed 95,195 original licences issued in 1973 compared with 85,382 in 1972. The\ntotal number of licensed drivers in British Columbia on December 31, 1973, was\n1,394,923, an increase of 68,885 over the 1972 total of 1,326,038. Male drivers\nnumbered 854,835 and female drivers 540,088. Revenue collected by the Motor-\nvehicle Branch from licences, permits, motor-vehicle inspections, and other services,\nsuch as the payment of social services tax, amounted to $52,812,085.33, an increase\nof 14.30 per cent or $6,608,413 over the 1972 total.\nMotor-vehicle accidents are dealt with extensively in this report and statistical\ntables set out information gathered by the Branch from accident reports submitted\nby vehicle drivers. There was a 15-per-cent increase in traffic fatalities in 1973. A\ntotal of 825 died from traffic accidents compared with 716 in 1972. Deaths per\n100 million miles travelled on British Columbia highways amounted to 7.17 in 1973\ncompared with 6.90 in 1972.\nAccidents reported in 1973 amounted to 69,564, an increase of 15 per cent\nover the 1972 total. The number of persons injured increased by 18 per cent to\ntotal 27,709. Property damage loss increased 28 per cent to $66,372,052.42.\nIncluded in the report are tables of offences and violations against the Criminal\nCode (Canada), the Motor-vehicle Act, and the Motor-vehicle Act Regulations as\na result of the operation of vehicles. The activities of the driver improvement program of the Branch are set out. This program is designed to deal with persons\nwho have committed offences under various traffic laws. The activities of the\nDrivers' Examination Section are reported and there are interesting details noted\nabout the program of licensing commercial driver-training schools, training-school\noperators, and instructors.\nInformation about the Motor-vehicle Inspection Program is included in the\nreport. During 1973 a total of 757,128 vehicles were inspected, an increase from\n651,705 in 1972. The rate of rejection of vehicles presented for inspection was\n32.4 per cent, and the tables which follow will show the various causes for rejection.\nThe report also mentions the number of authorized fleet-inspection stations which\nexist. These stations are limited to certain types of vehicles and the operations are\nclosely supervised by the Motor-vehicle Inspection Division.\nThe Central Registry, which is carried out as a function of the Motor-vehicle\nBranch, is the sole repository in the Province for documents filed under the Bills of\n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS\nK 25\nSale Act, the Conditional Sales Act, the Mechanics' Lien Act, and the Assignment\nof Book Accounts Act, which concern all types of personal chattels. Indicative of\nthe increased work load of the Central Registry is the fact that there was a 15.72-percent increase in the number of documents registered in 1973 compared with 1972.\nThere was a 12.76-per-cent increase in the number of searches conducted and\nsimilar rates of increase are indicated for the various services provided by the\nCentral Registry.\nThe various activities of the Branch are dealt with under the following headings:\nLicences.\nAccidents and Convictions.\nDriving.\nDriver Improvement Program.\nExamination of Drivers.\nMotor-vehicle Inspection.\nCentral Registry.\nSchool Buses.\nPermits for Flashing Red and Amber Lights, Sirens, and Theft Alarms.\nStaff.\nLICENCES\nMotor-vehicles licensed in British Columbia in 1973 totalled 1,248,422, compared with 1,162,581 in 1972, an increase of 85,841 (7.38 per cent), while motor-\nvehicles and motor-cycles totalled 1,281,917, compared with 1,191,953 in 1972,\nan increase of 89,964 (7.55 per cent).\nPassenger-type motor-vehicles numbered 961,497, an increase of 55,229 over\nthe 1972 total of 906,268. Commercial vehicle registration increased from 256,313\nto 286,925, a difference of 30,612.\nThe increase in motor-cycle registrations from 29,372 to 33,495 (14.04 per\ncent), a difference of 4,123, indicates the general motoring public are still continuing\nto be interested in using the motor-cycle as a means of transportation.\nTrailer registrations continued to increase. The 1973 total of 171,869 was an\nincrease of 15,726 over the 156,143 total of 1972. Camping and boat-type\ntrailers accounted for the majority of this increase and would indicate that the\nresidents of British Columbia are still continuing to enjoy and spend more of their\nleisure hours out-of-doors.\nThe comparative statement of licences and permits for motor-cycles and trailers\ncovers the volumes in these categories during the licence-year 1966 to 1973.\n K 26\nBRITISH COLUMBIA\nComparative Statement of Licences, Permits, Etc., Issued\nDuring the Licence-years 1965 to 1973, Inclusive\nLicences Issued\nI I\n1966 | 1967 I\nI I\n1968\n1969\n1970\n1971\n1972\n1973\nMotor-vehicles\u2014\nPassenger (new) _ _\nPassenger (renewal) ...\nTotal passenger\t\nCommercial (new)\t\nCommercial (renewal) \t\nTotal commercial\t\nTotal motor-vehicles\t\nNonresident touring motor-\nvehicle permits \t\nNonresident special motor-vehicle\npermits _\t\nNonresident commercial motor-\nvehicle permits-\nSingle trip \t\nQuarterly permits _ _\nTotals \t\nExtra-Provincial prorated trucks\nTemporary operation permits\u2014\nPassenger \t\nCommercial\u2014 \u2014 ____\nTotals _\t\nTransporter\u2014\u25a0\nOriginal\t\nAdditional\t\nMotor-cycles\u2014\nNew\t\nRenewal\t\nTotals _ ___\nTrailers\t\nExtra-Provincial prorated trailers\nMotor dealers\u2014\nOriginal licences __\nAdditional plates\t\nOriginal motor-cycle dealer licences\t\nAdditional motor-cycle dealer licences\t\nSalesmen's licences - _\u201e\nTransfers\u2014\u25a0\nPassenger \t\nCommercial\t\nMotor-cycle \t\nTrailers\t\nA.T.V \t\nTotal transfers \t\nChauffeurs\u2014\nOriginal Class A\t\nOriginal Class B\t\nOriginal Class C\t\nSearches _ _ _\nSafety responsibility insurance certificates filed _ _\nAll-terrain vehicles\u2014\nRegistrations- _\nSubstitutions\t\nI I\nI I\n89,4271 89,8171\n575,364[ 612,186|\n94,333\n646,646\n107,504\n682,989\n664,791| 702,003| 740,979| 790,493\n20,0091\n133,3111\n20,329\n142,885\n25,1711 30,564\n152,462| 167,191\n153,320| 163,214| 177,633| 197,755\n818,111| 865,217| 918,612| 988,248\n1,222\n45\n15,260\n1,968\n1,067\n34\n13,209\n1,912\n929\n32\n15,690\n2,408\n590\n19\n20,696\n3,029\n17,228| 15,1211 18,098| 23,725\n2,6931 2,775\n14,076! 15,717\n35,995| 37,057\n2,713\n17,599\n42,128\n3,231\n20,260\n49,665\n50,0711 52,774| 59,727| 69,925\n20\n4,263\n11,124\n4,063\n13,166\n3,780\n14,684\n30\n87\n5,181\n15,724\n15,387| 17,229| 18,464| 20,905\n81,703\n5,246\n1,097\n1,238\n124\n84\n1,347\n337,860\n54,598\n9,614\n7,225\n-I-\n91,6271\n6,743\n1,086\n1,306\n118\n92\n1,196\n341,859\n57,193\n10,872\n8,654\n102,068\n7,859\n1,140\n1,332\n120\n85\n1,191\n351,092\n62,370\n11,391\n9,637\n114,420\n8,009\n1,173\n1,538\n124\n95\n1,163\n383,477\n71,858\n13,447\n12,003\n90,2621\n721,3281\n108,584| 119,031\n747,502| 787,237\n129,549\n831,941\n811,590j 856,086| 906,268\n961,497\n26,727\n180,768\n32,9731 41,095\n195,125| 215,218\n46,999\n239,926\n207,495| 228,098) 256,313\n286,925\nl,O19,085|l,084,184| 1,162,581\n1,248,422\n409,297| 418,578| 434,490| 480,785\n7,059\n6,435\n83,853\n1,659,586\n13,080\n7,065\n6,876\n83,091\n,692,128\n13,459\n7,972\n7,078\n83,323\n1,701,655\n15,884\n8,324\n7,768\n90,476\n12,908\n540\n10\n21,596\n3,156\n550\n496\n1\n2\n33,880\n4,488\n33,443\n4,001\n468\n3\n40,508\n4,900\n24,752\n38,368\n37,444|\n45,408\n3,093\n20,805\n52,831\n3,699\n23,814\n69,648\n4,0481\n26,600\n80,603]\n5,067\n29,402\n75,983\n73,636\n93,462\n107,2031\n105,385\n6,083\n16,417\n44\n141\n7,749\n17,590\n53\n177\n9,543\n19,829\n72\n244\n10,542\n22,953\n22,50O| 25,339| 29,372| 33,495\n129,864\n6,640\n1,204\n1,490\n141\n84\n1,246\n347,879\n70,522\n15,334\n14,337\n141,978\n7,335\n156,143\n8,090\n1,205\n1,538\n1,274\n1,674\n148\n150\n134\n1,130\n158\n1,051\n405,928\n86,003\n17,278\n19,167\n439,242\n101,424\n20,044\n22,022\n900\n171,869\n10,714\n1,392\n2,146\n167\n207\n951\n452,980\n112,273\n22,279\n26,282\n2,881\n448,072| 528,376| 583,640| 616,695\n8,714\n8,459\n91,723\n8,433\n7,658\n82,506\n17,456\n84\n6,356\n141\n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS\nK 27\nDrivers' Licences\nOriginal drivers' licences issued during the 1973 licence-year totalled 95,195,\nan increase from the 1972 total of 85,382.\nLicensed drivers in British Columbia at the end of 1973 totalled 1,394,923,\nup from the 1972 total of 1,326,038, an increase of 68,885.

Since vehicle-owners move\nfrequently from one area to another, and vehicles are often sold to new owners\nresiding in different locations from previous owners, the table cannot be regarded\nas an accurate population count of vehicles in the various parts of the Province.\nHowever, the table does provide a guide as to distribution of vehicles throughout\nthe Province, and it is of use to groups concerned with community planning projects\nand development.\n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS\nK 29\nSummary of Passenger Motor-vehicle Licences Issued Under the Motor-vehicle Act\nDuring the 1973 Licence-year, by Issuing Office\nIssuing\nRegistrations\nRenewals\nTotal\nUsed\nNew\n450\n253\n63\n9\n1,573\n66\n35\n653\n7\n1,396\n705\n569\n237\n482\n314\n650\n171\n6\n326\n41\n290\n56\n275\n143\n1,321\n29\n1,649\n246\n24\n68\n90\n705\n388\n1,941\n1,307\n107\n15\n612\n17\n46\n116\n1,031\n279\n62\n1,579\n919\n49\n8\n7,542\n129\n84\n1,673\n2\n2,622\n1,445\n1,052\n300\n850\n870\n423\n125\n8\n563\n11\n354\n184\n1,633\n118\n2,855\n7\n2,041\n312\n27\n162\n259\n2,298\n802\n8,101\n6,656\n126\n97\n1,512\n28\n14\n411\n2,838\n528\n58\n2\n601\n190\n4,125\n28\n382\n530\n709\n1,011\n14,747\n6,815\n5,214\n78\n1,418\n8,113\n866\n13,915\n10,290\n1,620\n87\n48,107\n1,406\n8\n16,427\n458\n39,368\n16,232\n8,855\n2,933\n5,994\n12,484\n3,274\n1,148\n1\n4,597\n1,495\n2,041\n2,807\n11,659\n1,431\n22,377\n419\n21,864\n3,924\n792\n2,438\n4,813\n21,076\n11,439\n71,213\n44,635\n3,296\n18\n12,303\n2\n365\n6,202\n20,463\n5,288\n1,365\n15,944\n11,462\n1,732\nAtlin\t\n104\nBurnaby i , \t\n57,222\n1,601\nCampbell River _ \t\n127\n18,753\n467\n43,386\n18,382\nCranbrook .\t\n10,476\n3,470\n7,326\nDuncan .\t\n13,668\n4,347\n1,444\nFort St. James\t\nFort St. John \t\n15\n5,486\n1,547\n2,685\n3,047\n13,567\n1,692\n26,553\n455\n25,554\nKitimat\t\n4,482\n843\n2,668\n5,162\nNanaimo\t\n24,079\n12,629\n81,255\n52,598\nOliver-- -\t\n100 Mile House . -\t\n3,529\n130\nPenticton\u2014 . \u2014\t\n14,427\n47\n425\n6,729\n24,332\n6,095\n1,485\n2\n190\n209\n1,225\n10\n338\n135\n186\n190\n3,408\n2,642\n1,320\n131\n651\n3,308\n279\n5,380\n2,615\n35,820\n1,110\n5,322\n3,624\n4,653\n7,090\n73,342\n61,546\n47,747\n2,644\n13,938\n99,467\n6,721\n6,171\n3,014\n41,170\n1,148\n6,042\nSmithers -\t\n4,289\n5,548\nTrail\t\n8,291\n91,497\n71,003\nVancouver-Point Grey*\t\n54,281\n2,853\n16,007\n110,888\n7,866\nVernon\t\nWilliams Lake _\t\nTotals\t\n33.045 1 96.504\n831,948\n961,497\n1 Vancouver\u2014Includes issuance from Motor Licence Offices at 1730 West Georgia Street, 2410 Nanaimo\nStreet, 6237 West Boulevard, Vancouver; 574 Minoru Boulevard, Richmond; 4705 Wayburne Drive, Burnaby;\nand Mail Order Issuance to the Vancouver area from Victoria.

These percentages show no\nappreciable change on the 1972 licence-year figures.\nThe location of Motor-vehicle Branch offices are listed and the 1973 revenue\ncollection at each office is shown:\nMotor Licence Offices, With Correspondence Revenues, 1973 Licence-year\nRevenue, by Issuing Offices\nAbbotsford 872,594.70\nAlberni 552,730.09\nAshcroft 124,055.51\nAtlin 41,392.07\nBurnaby 3,725,432.16\nBurns Lake 149,760.69\nCampbell River 14,666.04\nChilliwack 1,056,445.77\nClinton 43,411.03\nCloverdale 2,372,089.73\nCourtenay 901,538.50\nCranbrook 746,399.40\nCreston 282,081.89\nDawson Creek 764,992.22\nDuncan 760,437.44\nFernie 533,258.63\nFort Nelson 268,053.60\nFort St. James 2,479.32\nFort St. John 825,612.10\nGanges 68,450.38\nGolden 727,167.89\nGrand Forks 221,134.86\nHaney 594,896.31\nInvermere 145,367.82\nKamloops 1,832,429.44\nKaslo 49,082.33\nKelowna 1,329,817.89\nKitimat 210,101.23\nLillooet 70,755.79\nMerritt 205,383.04\nMission 274,948.92\nNanaimo 1,143,943.42\nNelson 704,011.73\nNew Westminster 3,558,265.98\nNorth Vancouver 1,819,395.53\nOliver 185,170.96\n100 Mile House 9,913.82\nPenticton 720,393.56\nPort Hardy 4,956.00\nPouce Coupe 281,002.89\nPowell River 290,840.11\nPrince George 1,947,133.50\nPrince Rupert 314,952.79\nPrinceton 116,310.08\nQueen Charlotte City .. 2,558.94\nQuesnel 552,985.64\nRevelstoke 252,496.84\nRichmond 1,728,455.21\nRossland 53,257.66\nSalmon Arm ..: 398,224.26\nSmithers 367,511.26\nTerrace 503,776.81\nTrail 367,777.02\nVancouver 5,329,332.03\nVancouver East 3,304,342.87\nVancouver-Point Grey 1,810,499.71\nVanderhoof 316,639.65\nVernon 1,054,429.61\nVictoria 4,696,963.98\nWilliams Lake 762,932.79\nTotal 52,812,085.33\n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS\nK 33\nVancouver \t\nVictoria\t\nBurnaby \t\nNew Westminster\t\nVancouver East\t\nCloverdale \t\nPrince George \t\nKamloops\t\nNorth Vancouver\t\nVancouver-Point Grey\nRichmond \t\nKelowna \t\nNanaimo \t\nChilliwack\t\nVernon \t\nCourtenay\t\nAbbotsford \t\nFort St. John\t\nDawson Creek\t\nWilliams Lake \t\nDuncan\t\nCranbrook \t\nGolden\t\nPenticton \t\nNelson\t\nHaney \t\nQuesnel \t\nAlberni \t\nFernie \t\nTerrace \t\nProrate \t\nSalmon Arm \t\nIssuing Offices,\n$\n5,329,332.03\n4,696,963.98\n3,725,432.16\n3,558,265.98\n3,304,342.87\n2,372,089.73\n1,947,133.50\n1,832,429.44\n1,819,395.53\n1,810,499.71\n1,728,455.21\n1,329,817.89\n1,143,943.42\n1,056,445.77\n1,054,429.61\n901,538.50\n872,594.70\n825,612.10\n764,992.22\n762,932.79\n760,437.44\n746,399.40\n727,167.89\n720,393.56\n704,011.73\n594,896.31\n552,985.64\n552,730.09\n533,258.63\n503,776.81\n446,643.89\n398,224.26\nby Revenue\nTrail \t\nSmithers\t\nVanderhoof \t\nPrince Rupert\t\nPowell River\t\nCreston\t\nPouce Coupe \t\nMission \t\nFort Nelson\t\nRevelstoke \t\nGrand Forks\t\nKitimat \t\nMerritt \t\nOliver \t\nBurns Lake \t\nInvermere \t\nAshcroft\t\nPrinceton \t\nLillooet\t\nGanges\t\nRossland \t\nKaslo \t\nClinton\t\nAtlin \t\nCampbell River\t\n100 Mile House\t\nPort Hardy \t\nQueen Charlotte City\nFort St. James\t\n$\n367,777.02\n367,511.26\n316,639.65\n314,952.79\n290,840.11\n282,081.89\n281,002.89\n274,948.92\n268,053.60\n252,496.84\n221,134.86\n210,101.23\n205,383.04\n185,170.96\n149,760.69\n145,367.82\n124,055.51\n116,310.08\n70,755.79\n68,450.38\n53,257.66\n49,082.33\n43,411.03\n41,392.07\n14,666.04\n9,913.82\n4,956.00\n2,558.94\n2,479.32\nTotal 52,812,085.33\nRevenue Equals 65.43 per Cent of Total Revenue\nMotor-vehicle Inspection Station Revenue Included\nVancouver \t\nVictoria \t\nBurnaby \t\nNew Westminster\t\nVancouver East\t\nCloverdale \t\nKamloops \t\nNorth Vancouver\t\nVancouver-Point Grey.\n$\n5,329,332.03\n5,143,607.87\n3,725,432.16\n3,558,265.98\n3,304,342.87\n2,372,089.73\n1,832,429.44\n1,819,395.53\n1,810,499.71\n$\nRichmond 1,728,455.21\nChilliwack 1,056,445.77\nAbbotsford __.\nDawson Creek\nHaney\t\nTrail \t\nMission\t\n872,594.70\n764,992.22\n594,896.31\n367,777.02\n274,948.92\nTotal 34,555,505.47\n K 34\nBRITISH COLUMBIA\nBurnaby .\nNanaimo ...\nRichmond\nVancouver\nVictoria _...\nMotor-vehicle Inspection Station Revenue not Included\n$\nProrate (Victoria) _.\n$\n446,643.89\n 324,139.25\n 26,013.00\n 149,806.75\n 317,009.00\n 198,835.50\n1,015,803.50\nRefunds\nLegislation provides for refunding of licence fees paid in several instances\nwhere the licence-plates are surrendered to this Branch. Prior to November 25,\n1973, refunds were granted where a vehicle was removed from the Province,\njunked, damaged beyond repair, or temporarily removed from use. On November\n26, 1973, new legislation provided for a change in the licensing concept in British\nColumbia where the licence-plates were allocated to the registered owner for use\non a vehicle duly registered in his name. A person who was allocated licence-\nplates for use on a vehicle registered in his name can, upon disposal of the vehicle,\nretain, destroy, attach the number-plates to a substitute vehicle, or surrender them\nto the Branch, together with an application for remission of fees in the prescribed\nform.\nRefunds for vehicle licence-plates are granted on the basis of the unexpired\nportion of the licence-year.\nThe fee for the unexpired full years of the five-year driver's licence is refundable under the following circumstances upon surrender of the licence to this Branch:\n(a) The licence has been suspended due to the failure of the licensee to\nqualify in a driver's examination.\n(b) The licensee has taken up residence outside the Province.\n(c) The licensee has died.\n(d) The licensee has voluntarily surrendered his driver's licence.\nThe following table sets out the number of refunds and amount of money\nrefunded for the 1973 licence-year:\nRefunds, 1973\/74 Fiscal Year\nType of Refund\nGeneral refunds\u2014\nMotor-vehicle Act\u2014\nPassenger\t\nDrivers \t\nNumber\nDepartment of Commercial Transport A ct\u2014Commercial\t\n1,168\n2\n659\nRelinquishment refunds\u2014\nMotor-vehicle Act\u2014\nPassenger 11,752\nDrivers 1,355\nDealers 10\nDepartment of Commercial Transport Act\u2014Commercial 4,114\n1,829\nAmount\n$\n13,496.82\n3.00\n51,602.32\n65,102.14\nAll-terrain vehicle refunds-\nAll-terrain Vehicles Act\n17,231\n15\n130,268.53\n3,224.09\n264.87\n357,213.08\nTotal refunds 19,075\n490,970.57\n43.44\n556,116.15\n DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS\nK 35\nACCIDENTS AND CONVICTIONS\nMOTOR-VEHICLE ACCIDENTS\nThe following table gives a summary of the accident frequency during the\nperiod 1964 to 1973:\nYear\nAccidents\nMotor-\nNumber\nper 1,000\nvehicles\nof Acci\nVehicles\nRegistered\ndents\nRegistered\n700,048\n38,368\n54.81\n764,353\n40,262\n52.68\n817,348\n44,177\n54.05\n864,348\n49,750\n57.56\n917,872\n58,300\n63.51\n989,196\n70,624\n71.39\n1,024,738\n60,778\n59.35\n1,087,992\n59,745\n54.91\n1,164,749\n59.996\n51.51\n1,248,422\n69,564\n56.00\nInjuries\nDeaths\nDeaths\nper\n10,000\nVehicles\nRegistered\nAverage\nProperty\nDamage\nDeaths\nper 100\nMillion\nMiles\nFatal\nAccidents\nFatal\nAccidents\nper 100\nMillion\nMiles\n1964\n1965\n1966\n1967\n1968\n1969\n1970\n1971\n1972\n1973.\n16,911\n393\n17,574\n500\n19,449\n520\n19,500\n559\n20,945\n574\n22,535\n542\n22,568\n559\n22,340\n636\n23,316\n716\n27,709\n825 |\nI\n5.6\n6.5\n6.4\n6.5\n6.2\n5.4\n5.5\n5.8\n6.1\n6.7\n$\n523.39\n561.96\n592.91\n565.58\n570.87\n586.29\n731.63\n775.60\n863.44\n969.00\n6.90\n8.00\n7.60\n7.67\n7.36\n6.39\n6.70\n6.51\n6.90\n7.17\n345\n421\n445\n461\n460\n467\n471\n538\n602\n698\n6.06\n6.73\n6.51\n6.33\n5.90\n5.50\n5.64\n5.54\n5.80\n6.07\nAgain, we must report a substantial increase in fatal accidents from 602 in\n1972 to 698 in 1973.
