NOTICE OF COMPLETION
Transportation Master Plan to 2031 - The Road to Change
PR-2414

Background
Halton Region has completed a Transportation Master Plan – The Road to Change to develop a sustainable and integrated transportation plan that considers all modes of travel (automobiles, transit, cycling and walking) to the year 2031. The Transportation Master Plan was conducted in accordance with the master planning process following the requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process (October 2000, as amended 2007) which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
Process
The Transportation Master Plan provides the Region with the strategies and tools needed to manage traffic safely, effectively, and cost efficiently. This plan offers a range of transportation choices to meet the needs of Halton residents through Active Transportation, Transportation Demand Management and infrastructure related improvements. A key outcome of the study is a list of transportation projects that the Region can incorporate into its 20-year Roads Capital Program.
The Transportation Master Plan incorporates public, local municipal and agency comments received during the course of the study. While the Transportation Master Plan addresses need and justification at the broad level, more detailed studies for Schedule C projects included in the Transportation Master Plan will be completed in subsequent studies as per the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process.  We would like to take the opportunity to thank those members of the Halton community who participated in the Transportation Master Plan project. Your time and input was appreciated. Copies of the Transportation Master Plan document are available for your information at the following locations and on Halton’s website www.halton.ca/htmp.
