Infrastructure Policy and Planning - vote 4003
The Infrastructure Policy and Planning area is responsible for supporting the overall policy and direction to modernize the Province’s infrastructure including highways, roads, bridges, transit, hospitals, colleges, schools, courthouses, correctional facilities, other government buildings, and broadband infrastructure.
Infrastructure Policy and Planning is the area responsible for developing a strategic approach to infrastructure planning based on strong evidence. This includes managing the implementation of the Infrastructure for Jobs & Prosperity Act, which requires the development of the government’s long-term infrastructure plan, the development of an asset inventory, the identification of infrastructure needs and a strategy to prioritize infrastructure needs.
The area is the steward of provincial asset management planning, including developing tools and analyses to consistently track both current infrastructure assets and planned investments across government. As well, under the terms of the Act, the area is also responsible for the development of regulations for asset management plans for municipalities and certain broader public-sector entities.
This area leads infrastructure research initiatives, including coordinating, commissioning or undertaking studies to understand and develop best practices in infrastructure planning, and supporting the enhancement of government-wide practices in related fields, such as asset management and infrastructure productivity. The area also promotes and supports the integration of climate change considerations, such as lifecycle assessment, into the infrastructure planning and decision-making process.
The area manages the government’s relationship with the federal government by working with federal and municipal governments to negotiate and implement federal infrastructure funding programs. The area also develops and designs municipal infrastructure policy and programs, overseeing their delivery to ensure they are consistent with broader provincial infrastructure policy. The area also oversees the continued success of Infrastructure Ontario and Waterfront Toronto, which represent two of Ontario’s largest infrastructure delivery partners.
The area also develops policy and oversees programs for infrastructure financing, including public-private partnerships, loan program, commercial projects and the non-General Real Estate Portfolio (non-GREP) realty services and supports enhanced transparency through public reporting of data and profiles of infrastructure investments.
