The Transport Project Canada

What The Transport Project Canada does

The Transport Project Canada (TTPC) is a member-supported, nonprofit industry association headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, that serves as Canada's national voice for the adoption of low-emission gaseous transportation fuels — primarily compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), and Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). The organization represents the full natural gas vehicle value chain, including energy producers, engine and vehicle manufacturers, fuel providers, infrastructure operators, and fleet end-users across medium- and heavy-duty trucking, public transit, refuse and waste management, marine, rail, and off-road applications. TTPC evolved from the Canadian Natural Gas Vehicle Alliance (CNGVA), which has a 30+ year track record, and was rebranded under its current name in 2024 alongside its two sub-brands, Go With Natural Gas and Go With RNG.

TTPC does not develop proprietary technology. Its core "products" are two advocacy and education initiatives — Go With Natural Gas, which promotes conventional natural gas adoption for cost and emissions reduction, and Go With RNG, which targets net-zero emissions using Renewable Natural Gas under Canada's Clean Fuel Regulation. The organization delivers value through a bilingual content website, a publications library (including the Natural Gas Use in the Medium and Heavy-Duty Transportation Sector Deployment Roadmap co-developed with Natural Resources Canada), the annual NGV Leadership Awards, fleet case studies, and participation in industry conferences such as the Canadian Urban Transit Association Annual Conference. Member companies such as Cummins, Peterbilt Canada, Enbridge, FortisBC, Énergir, ATCO Gas, Waste Management, and Énergir/Énergir-related firms provide the underlying vehicles, engines, fueling infrastructure, and fuel supply.

TTPC's revenue model is recurring membership dues paid by 40+ member companies across multiple tiers. It distributes its services through direct member engagement, government partnerships (particularly with Natural Resources Canada and provincial authorities), and event-based outreach, with member companies functioning as the operational distribution channel through which fleets actually procure natural gas vehicles, engines, and fueling. The association's strategic positioning leverages Canada's Clean Fuel Regulation, which creates compliance credit value for low-carbon-intensity fuels (cited at up to $300/tonne) and positions TTPC members favorably relative to diesel incumbents.

Core offering

The Transport Project Canada is a member-supported industry association acting as the national voice for practical, clean gaseous fuels in transportation, evolving from the Canadian Natural Gas Vehicle Alliance (CNGVA). It delivers advocacy, research, member communications, and brand programs (Go With Natural Gas and Go With RNG) to advance compressed, liquefied, and renewable natural gas adoption across heavy-duty trucking, transit, waste, marine, rail and off-road fleets in Canada.

Product overview

The Transport Project Canada operates as a member-supported advocacy organization advancing the growth and deployment of practical, clean, gaseous fuels for transportation. The organization supports two sub-brands: Go With Natural Gas (GWNG) and Go With RNG (GWRNG). GWNG focuses on promoting natural gas vehicle adoption and providing education on transitioning to natural gas, while GWRNG targets renewable natural gas adoption for net-zero emissions. The organization does not offer a unified software platform but rather serves as a national voice and resource hub for the natural gas vehicle industry, providing publications, fleet success stories, and regulatory guidance to its members across the full value chain including energy producers, vehicle manufacturers, fleets, and fuel providers.
