2. Methodology
2.1 We adopted a desk-based research approach that consists primarily of the review of existing published data (either in print or on the internet). The data in the three different countries is not homogenous, and while British Columbia has very comprehensive websites and much information is readily available, others do not.
2.2 In the case of Norway, in order to fill information gaps, the research approach was complemented with one of our native Norwegian team members conducting direct telephone interviews with identified representatives of the key organisations. We also obtained information and case studies from our collaborator in Norway - the Institute of Transport Economics.
2.3 The case study on Japan was primarily carried out by our collaborator Public Planning & Policy Studies, Inc. in Japan.
2.4 Table 2.1 is a list of the organisations we researched / contacted in order to complete this report.
