Transportation in Saskatchewan

Transportation in Saskatchewan is the movement of people and goods from one place to another within the province. The term is derived from the Latin trans ("across") and portare ("to carry"). Transportation in Saskatchewan includes an infrastructure system of roads, highways, freeways, airports, ferries, pipelines, trails, waterways and railway systems serving a population of approximately 1,003,299 (according to 2007 estimates) inhabitants year-round.
