The County of Simcoe has initiated an update to its Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The update is intended to build on the 2014 TMP and provide direction for the planning, coordination and implementation of a multi-municipal road and transit network, active transportation amenities and commuter facilities for the next 30 years and beyond. This update will also guide the development and implementation of policies to support existing and future transportation needs within the County.

At this stage in the study, we are gathering input into the County’s transportation needs and opportunities, which will inform the development of the Transportation Master Plan’s infrastructure and policy recommendations.
